Q

What is displacement ?

A

It includes both the distance an object moves, measured in a straight line from the start point to the finish point and the direction of that straight line

Q

What is the law of moments?

A

Sum of clockwise moments= sum of anti-clockwise movement
This means
F1 x d1 = F2xd2

17
Q

What can gears do?

A

Like levers, gears can transmit turning forces.

They can transfer turning effects whilst increasing them or decreasing them.

18
Q

What is another formula for moments?

A

Moment = Force x Gear radius

19
Q

What is inertia?

A

It is the object to oppose the change in motion. The more inertia something has, the harder it is to get it going/moving

20
Q

What is a machine?

A

It is an apparatus using mechanical power and having several parts, each with a definite function which together perform a particular task.

21
Q

What is velocity?

A

The speed of something in a given direction

22
Q

What is meant by a resultant force?

A

The overall force exerted on an object
