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?

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
How do you calculate time
Time = distance ————- Speed
26
How do you calculate distance
Distance = speed x time
27
What is the abbreviation for metres per second
M/S
28
What is the abbreviation for miles per hour
mph
29
What is the abbreviation for kilometres per hour
Km/h
30
What does the slope of the line show in a distance time graph
The speed in which something is travelling
31
If the line is steeper on a distance time graph what does that show?
That the object is moving faster
32
What do flat sections show on a distance time graph? 
That the object has stopped
33
What do downhill sections show on a distance time graph? 
The object is going back towards it starting point 
34
What do curves represent on a distance time graph? 
The object is changing speed
35
How do you calculate resultant force
Minus the smaller force from the larger force
36
How do you calculate weight
Weight = mass x G.F.S (gravitational field strength)
37
Does your mass change
No
38
Does weight change
Yes
39
What is the unit for measuring G.F.S
n/kg
40
Are mass and weight the same
No
41
What is mass
The amount of matter an object contains
42
What is weight
The force of gravity acting on an object’s mass 
43
What is weight measured in
Newtons
44
What is gravity
Gravity is a force that acts between objects that have mass
45
The greater the object mass…
The greater the gravity exterted by that object
