25
Q

What does an downwards slanted line indicate about the acceleration on a graph?

A

Constant negative deceleration.

26
Q

What is the first Newton law?

A

An objects motion only changes if another force acts upon it.

‘An object remains at rest or in constant motion in a straight line unless acted on by a net unbalanced force’ - Newton

27
Q

What does Inertia refer to?

A

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion while either at rest or in constant motion.

28
Q

What is ‘Net force’ and what’s its standard unit (SI) of measurement?

A

The vector sum of all the forces acting on an object; known as the resultant force.
Standard unit —> N

29
Q

Formula for ‘Net force’?

A

fnet = m*a
m=fnet/a
a=fnet/m

fnet = net force, a = acceleration (m/s^2), m = mass (kg)

30
Q

How does force affect acceleration? (2 points to answer)

A

If net force acts in the same way of the movement, increase acceleration.
If net force acts in opposite way of movement, deceleration.

31
Q

What is the second Newton law?

A

The mass of an object affects the amount of force an object needs to stop even if the acceleration is the same.

‘The acceleration of an object is directly related to the magnitude & direction of the net force acting on the object, and inversely related to the mass of the object (fnet=m*a)’ -Newton

32
Q

What is the third newtons law?

A

‘For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Action—>Reaction

33
Q

What is a ‘reaction’ force?

A

The force acting in the opposite direction to an initial force.

eg. Insect hits windscreen (action: hitting the screen, reaction: bouncing off the screen)

34
Q

What is the ‘law of conservation of momentum’?

A

‘In an isolated system, the total momentum does not change during collision’

35
Q

What is ‘momentum’ and what is its standard unit (SI) of measurement?

A

The product of an object’s mass and velocity.
Standard unit —> Kg m/s

36
Q

If an object is faster than its momentum is….

A

More

37
Q

If an object has more mass than its momentum is……

38
Q

Formula of momentum?

A

m=p/v
V=p/m

Triangle: P is at the top of the triangle, m and v are next to each other on the bottom.

P = Momentum, m= Mass, v=Velocity

39
Q

How does the final momentum of an object change from the initial momentum. (*if it changes)

A

Initial momentum is equal to final momentum of all objects after.

40

Greater

48

GPE= Gravitational potential energy, m = mass, g= gravity (10m/s^2), h = height

50
Q

The larger the mass and height, the …. gravitational potential energy the object gains.

A

More

51
Q

Formula for elastic potential energy?

A

EPE = 1/2 * K * x^2

K= spring constant, x = compression/extensions, EPE = elastic potential energy

52
