21
Q

What unit is used to measure MASS

A

kg

22
Q

What unit is used to measure WEIGHT

A

N (newtons)

23
Q

What is the common units for acceleration due to gravity (in general)

A

m/s squared

24
Q

What is the rate for acceleration due to gravity ON EARTH

A

9.8m/s squared

*note that m/s2 is only the units for the acceleration for gravity! Don’t include it in my calculation!!!!!!!!!!

25
Q

What is the rate for acceleration due to gravity ON THE MOON

A

1.625m/s squared

*note that m/s2 is only the units for the acceleration for gravity! Don’t include it in my calculation!!!!!!!!!!

26
Q

What is the formula for calculating the weight of something

A

W = m x g

weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity

27
Q

What is the difference between mass and weight?

A

Weight: When you step on a scale it shows your weight as a number. This number is actually a measurement of the gravitational pull Earth has on you.

Mass: Is how much “stuff” you are made of. Unlike weight, your mass is the same whether you are on Earth, on Mars, on the moon, or any other planet

28
Q

Define energy

A

Energy is the ability to do work

29
Q

What is the formula to calculate the GPE of an object

A

PE = mgh
m = mass
g= 9.8 m/s squared
h = height in metres

30
Q

What is weight of an 85kg person on the earth?

A

833N

31
Q

What is the mass of an object that weighs 85N on earth?

A

85 / 9.8
= 8.673469
= 8.67kg (2dp)

32
Q

TRUE/FALSE: An objects’ mass and height above the ground directly influences it’s gravitational potential energy

A

TRUE

33
Q

What is the units for gravitational potential energy

A

JOULES
(J)
*because it is energy

34
Q

What do I use to remember how to calculate GPE

A

PE = mike gets hot
(PE = m x g x h)

35
Q

is joules for the unit a capital j or lowercase

A

CAPITAL J
(J)

36
Q

What is the formula for calculating KE

A

KE = 1/2 mV squared

m = mass of an object
V = velocity of an object
1/2 = half

37
Q

For the KE formula, is both the m and v halved, or just the mass (m)

A

The whole thing is halved

38
Q

Define velocity

A

The velocity of an object refers to the rate at which the object changes its position.
It is denoted by v.
Unit of velocity is m/s.

39
Q

Define mass

A

Mass of an object or body refers to how much matter is in the object.

It is denoted by m.

Unit of mass is kg.

40
Q

Does an object’s mass and velocity directly impact its kinetic energy?

A

YES

41
Q

How many kilojoules are in a megajoule?

A

1000

42
Q

How many joules are in a megajoule?

A

1 000 000

43
Q

What is the notation for megajoules

A

MJ

44
Q

what is the notation for kilojoules

A

kJ

45
Q

what is Kinetic Energy measured in

A

JOULES (J)

  • because just like GPE, it is measuring energy, and so therefore is measured in joules
46
Q

how do I calculate velocity

A

v = d / t

velocity = distance (metres) divided by time (seconds)

47
Q

Give an example of how stretching/compressing etc an object increases its potential energy

A

e.g stretching a rubber band increases its elastic potential energy

48
Q

What are the key difference between EVs and petrol vehicles?

A
  • EVs have less tailpipe carbon emissions
  • EVs convert chemical energy in batteries to ELECTRICAL energy, and then kinetic energy
  • But petrol cars transform chemical energy in fuel to heat and mechanical energy etc that moves the car
  • EVs are more energy efficient than petrol cars
49
Q

What type of energy is produced by the sun

A

Nuclear

50
Q

Describe the energy transformation/s present in an arrow being drawn in a bow and then released

A

Elastic potential energy –> kinetic energy (with a bit of heat and sound)

51
Q

Distinguish between gravitational, chemical and elastic potential energy

A

Gravitational: an objects potential energy due to it’s position

Chemical: an object’s potential energy due to its composition

Elastic: an object’s potential energy due to its state/shape
