17
Q

What is weight?

A

The effect of a gravitational field on a body with mass.

18
Q

What can forces do?

A
  • change size of body- change shape of body- change body’s motion
19
Q

What is the gradient of a speed-time graph?

A

Acceleration.

20
Q

What is the gradient of a distance-time graph?

A

Speed.

21
Q

How do you find distance in a speed-time graph?

A

Calculating the area under the graph.

22
Q

What is the centre of mass?

A

The average mass position of a body.

23
Q

What can the position of the centre of mass tell us?

A

The lower the centre of mass, the more stable the object.

24
Q

What is the difference between scalars and vectors?

A

Both have magnitude, but vectors have direction.

25
Q

What is GPE?

A

Energy stored in a gravitational field.

26
Q

What is power?

A

Power is the rate at which energy is transferred.

27
Q

What is work done?

A

Work done is the energy transferred to an object when a force is applied on it, causing it to displace itself.
