Physics Flashcards
Calculating the speed of moving objects?
Speed is distance divided by time
D. S. T.
Basic knowledge of the distance, and time graphs?
A positive gradient is the increasing speed, a flat line means it stopped and a negative gradient is the speed slowing down
Types of simple machines?
Wheel and axle, screw, lever, pulley, wedge and inclined plane
How do you workout a moment?
A moment is the distance from the pivot and force on the lever multiplied together
Hooke’s law?
Hooke’s Law states an elastic object must return to its original shape and size after removing the force from the load
Deformation?
When something is overstretched and cannot go back to its original form
Pressure in solids?
The pressure a solid object exerts on another solid surface is its weight in newtons divided by its area in square metres
Pressure in liquids?
P= pgh
P = fluid pressure
p= fluid density
g = acceleration due to gravity
h = fluid depth
Pressure in gases?
The force exerted by gaseous molecules as they collide with the walls of their container
