Physics Flashcards
What is distance?
Scalar quantity
What is displacement
Vector quantity
Velocity is what?
Vector quantity
What happens an object travelling in a circular motion?
The object is constantly accelerating, and it’s direction is also constantly changing because of the cebtripetal force caused by another force acting on it.
What is the structure for the energy transfer triangle
Energy
Force, distance
Walking average speed is what?
1.5 mph
What is the speed of sound?
330m/s
How do you figure out the resultant force?
Draw thin lines till they join then sum the foces acting .
Graph in a straight line represents what?
A constant speed
What does a curve represent?
A change in speed (acceleration or deceleration)
The speed at any given point in a graph can be calculated by figuring out the surface area beneath it.
Eurbryr
What does a scalar quantity only have?
Magnitude
What does a vector quantity have?
Magnitude and direction
What is speed?
The scalar magnitude of velocity
To calculate resultant force you must take away the amount of N from each direction.
