Physics 2

Question 1

Newton’s second law

Answer 1

The acceleration of an object is:

• directly proportional to the resultant force on an object
• inversely proportional to the mass of an object

Question 2

Force (N)=

Answer 2

Mass (kg)*acceleration (m/s2)

Question 3

The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object
Weight (w)=

Answer 3

Mass (kg)*acceleration due to gravity (m/s2)

Question 4

Terminal velocity:

Answer 4

The maximum velocity that an object can travel at in a fluid

Question 5

Hooke’s law:

Answer 5

Force is directly proportional to extension provided the elastic limit is not reached

Question 6

Total stopping distance=

Answer 6

Thinking distance+braking distance

Question 7

Braking distance:

Answer 7

How far the car travels once the breaks have been applied

Question 8

Thinking distance

Answer 8

How far the car travels during your reaction time

Question 9

Thinking distance factors:

Answer 9

Distractions, age, alcohol consumption, drugs, tiredness

Question 10

Braking distance factors:

Answer 10

Tyre condition, driving surface, road conditions

Question 11

Both factors of braking and thinking distance:

Answer 11

Speed, heavy rain

Question 12

Momentum

Answer 12

A property of a moving object which depends on how much mass the object has and how fast it is moving

Question 13

P (kg m/s)=

Answer 13

m mass (kg)*v volume (m/s)

Question 14

Conservation of energy:

Answer 14

Energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can only be transferred from one energy store to another energy store

Question 15

Question 22

Mechanical

Answer 22

When a force is involved

Question 23

Electrical

Answer 23

When electricity is involved

Question 24

Heating

Answer 24

When there is a change in temperature

Question 25

Radiation

Answer 25

By light or other EM waves

Question 26

Work done

Answer 26

Work is done when a force moves an object through a distance
Work done is the same as the transfer of energy

Question 27

Calculating work done

Answer 27

Work is done when a force moves an object through a distance
work done(J)W=F force(N)*S distance (m)

• reading a book
• driving at a steady speed on a motorway
• talking
• sleeping, sitting
• holding a book

Question 30

Weight

Answer 30

The weight of an object is the force of gravity acting on the object
