Q

What are the five things forces can make objects do

A

-Speed up or start moving
-slow down or stop
-change direction
-Turn
-change shape

20
Q

Are the forces balanced or unbalanced when the arrows are uneven

A

Unbalanced

21
Q

Are the forces balanced when the arrows are the same length?

A

Balanced

22
Q

What are forces

A

Pushes, pulls or twists

23
Q

What is speed

A

A measure of how far you travel in a set amount of time 

24
Q

How do you calculate speed

A

Speed = distance
————-
Time

25
Q

How do you calculate time

A

Time = distance
————-
Speed

26
Q

How do you calculate distance

A

Distance = speed x time

27
Q

What is the abbreviation for metres per second

A

M/S

28
Q

What is the abbreviation for miles per hour

A

mph

29
Q

What is the abbreviation for kilometres per hour

A

Km/h

30
Q

What does the slope of the line show in a distance time graph

A

The speed in which something is travelling

31
Q

If the line is steeper on a distance time graph what does that show?

A

That the object is moving faster

32
Q

What do flat sections show on a distance time graph? 

A

That the object has stopped

33
Q

What do downhill sections show on a distance time graph? 

A

The object is going back towards it starting point 

34
Q

What do curves represent on a distance time graph? 

A

The object is changing speed

35
Q

How do you calculate resultant force

A

Minus the smaller force from the larger force

36
Q

How do you calculate weight

A

Weight = mass x G.F.S (gravitational field strength)

37
Q

Does your mass change

A

No

38
Q

Does weight change

A

Yes

39
Q

What is the unit for measuring G.F.S

A

n/kg

40
Q

Are mass and weight the same

A

No

41
Q

What is mass

A

The amount of matter an object contains

42
Q

What is weight

A

The force of gravity acting on an object’s mass 

43
Q

What is weight measured in

A

Newtons

44
Q

What is gravity

A

Gravity is a force that acts between objects that have mass

45
Q

The greater the object mass…

A

The greater the gravity exterted by that object
