Physics Revision 1/02/23 Flashcards
Anomaly
The result that does not fit with the other results
Mean
Also known as the average (add up the values and divide by the amount of values)
Range
The smallest value subtracted from the largest in the set
Resolution
This is the smallest change in a value a device can measure.
Precision in a set of values
Precision refers to how close the values are to each other.
Accuracy
The accuracy of a reading is how close it is to the true value.
Equation of finding average speed
S=d/t …………… = speed= distance/time
Constant speed on a distance time graph
A straight line
Slowing down on a distance time graph
Line gets flatter
Speeding up on a distance time graph
One getting steeper
Gravitational field strength equation
Weight = mass x gravity (w=m x g)
As the sled gets faster, air resistance…….
Increases
Unbalanced forces=………..
Change in speed
Balanced forces=…………..
The object remains stationary
The object continues at a constant speed if ……..
The forces acting against the object are equal.
