Speed, Velocity And Forces Flashcards
What is the formula for speed?
Distance travelled / Time taken
What is the formula for acceleration/deceleration?
Change is speed / time taken
If a line on a velocity time graph is going up, what is this an example of?
Constant acceleration
If the line on a velocity time graph is at a 180* angle, what is this an example of?
Constant speed
If the line on a velocity time graph is going down, what is this an example of?
Constant deceleration
If two forces are competing against each other, and one side is winning, which side will the direction of the force go?
To the winning side
If there are two forces competing against each other and the starting direction is left (for example) but then both forces are suddenly balanced what direction (if any) will the force be travelling?
In the same direction but just at a constant speed with NO acceleration
What are the four types of forces within a driving car?
Gravity - Downwards
Upthrust - Upwards
Friction - Backwards
Engine - Forwards
