Q

Express work done in si based units

A

1- find work done equation
Work done = force * distance / displacement
Displacement = m ,force = N (what they measured in)
Newton is not an si unit so you have to do the equation for force to get si base units
2- force equation
F = m a
Mass= kg , acceleration = ms^-2
3- now combine
Answer= kgm^2s^-2

18
Q

What unit is ms

A

Millisecond

19
Q

Turn 100 pics seconds into seconds

A

100 * 10^-12
= 10*10^-10

20
Q

Conver 34 m^2 to cm^2

A

340000

21
Q

How many micro metered in a centimetre

A

10,000

22
Q

What does the area under an acceleration + time graph represent

A

Velocity (ms^-1)

23
Q

what is the area under a force x meter graph

A

energy (j)

24
Q

how do you know what SF to use when rounding an answer

A

add the same SF as the smallest number of data
