✅
What are speed and velocity both?
How fast your going
What are speed and velocity both measured in?
M/s or km/h or mph
What is the difference between speed and velocity ?
Speed is how fast your going whereas velocity considers direction and speed
What does the gradient in distance time graphs tell you?
How fast the object is moving - this is because the gradient is she change in y over the change in x = change in distance over the change in time
Hay do flat sections of distance time graphs represent ?
Where the object is stationary
What does a straight line uphill or downhill mean on a distance time graph mean?
The object is moving at a steady speed
On a distance time graph, the steeper the gradient …
The faster the object is going
On a distance time graph, when a line is going downhill this means the object is ..
Travelling back towards its starting point
What do curves on a distance time graph mean?
The object is accelerating or de accelerating
What does a steepening line on a distance time graph mean ?
The object is speeding up
What does a decreasing gradient - levelling off curve mean on a distance time graph ?
The object is slowing down
How do you calculate the speed on a distance time graph ?
Speed = gradient so = vertical over horizontal
What is acceleration?
How quickly velocity is changing
What can a change velocity ?
Change in speed or change in direction or both
What is velocity measured in?
M/s squared
On a velocity time graph what does gradient mean?
Acceleration
On a velocity time graph what do flat sections represent ?
Steady speed
On a velocity time graph, the steeper the graph…
Te greater the acceleration or deacceration
What do uphill sections on a velocity time graph mean?
Acceleration
What do downhill sections on a velocity time graph mean?
De acceleration
How do you work out the distance travelled on a velocity time graph?
The area under the line
What does a curve mean on a velocity time graph ?
A change in acceleration
How do you work out acceleration from a velocity time graph?
Acceleration = gradient = vertical change divided by horizontal change
How do you find the velocity on a velocity time graph?
Reading the value from the velocity axis
What is gravitational force ?
The force of attraction between all masses
What gives everything weight?
Gravitational force
What is the gravitational pull on earth?
10n
What is mass?
The amount of stuff In an object for any given object this will have the same value anywhere in the universe
What is weight?
Caused by the pull of gravitational force in most questions the weight of an onject is just the force of gravity pulling the object to the centre of earth
Would the mass of an object change if it was on the moon or earth?
No an object has the same mass weather it’s on the moon or the earth
Would an object a weight be the same on the moon and earth?
No an object would weigh less on the moon than earth because the gravitational force is pulling it less
What is the gravitational pull on the moon?
1.6 n
How is weight measured?
Newtons -Using a spring balance or newton meter
What is mass measured in?
Kilograms
