Q

how do you find the net effect of forces (total force) when 1 force is applied north and 1 force is applied east?

Q

if you throw a ball out at the force of 20N, which direction is the force applied?

A

west or east

24
Q

define fluids

A

things that flow

25
Q

when does friction occur?

A

when 1 object is being pul.ling or pushed while in contact with another object

26
Q

what energy does kinetic energy convert to during friction?

A

heat energy

27
Q

when does air resistance occur?

A

when an object is moving through the air

28
Q

define drag force

A

opposing force on the object’s moving through fluids

29
Q

when speed increases, what happens to the air resistance and drag force?

A

increases

30
Q

why cant objects accelerate?

A

air resistance

31
Q

if a ball has a mass of 5kg, what is its weight?

A

50N

32
Q

What is the relation between net force, mass, and acceleration?

A

Net force = mass x acceleration (FAM TRIANGLE)

33
Q

If the acceleration is 0 of an object, what speed is the object moving at?

A

steady speed/constant speed

34
Q

define terminal speed

A

acceleration is 0/constant speed/steady speed

35
Q

define terminal velocity

A

the constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the force of gravity (gravity and air resistance is the same)

36
Q

define Equilibrium

A

total force is 0, no change in motion, if it’s at rest it stays at rest, if it’s in motion it remains at that motion with the same speed (when forces are equal and cancel each other out)

37
Q

define torque

A

force

38
Q

define force

A

brings change in state of motion in an object (push and pull on an object)

39
Q

describe movement of a force

A

rotational effect (turning effect) brought on a body due to application of force

40
Q

how do you find the movement/momentum of a force?

A

M = length x force (applied) (SI unit = N/m)

41
Q

define movement of a force

A

product of the force and the perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force

42
Q

is the movement of a force a scalar or vector?

A

Vector (need to include if it is moving in clock wise or anti clock wise)

43
Q

what is the relationship of the clockwise moment and the anti clockwise moment for the rod to not rotate?

A

clockwise and anti clockwise movement must be equal

44
Q

what is the principle of moments?

A

it states that if a body is not to rotate, the net clockwise moment of a force on it must equal the net anti clockwise moment of a force

45
Q

what is the formula for making the rod straight if the rod is tilted and has a weight?

A

(length of pivot to center of gravity x weight) = (length of pivot to end the rod is tilted x F)

46
Q

define the center of gravity

A

the point on a body where the whole of the weight of the object is assumed to be acting

47
Q

what is the relationship between the center of gravity and stability?

A

position of the center of gravity has a affect on the stability of objects

48
Q

relationship between base area and stability?

A

more base area, more stability

49
Q

relationship between height and stability?

A

height smaller, more stability (closer to ground, more stable)

50
Q

how do you find out the total moment of a force in a negligible mass rod with the pivot in the center?

A

(M = f1 x length) + (M = f2 x length)

51
Q

is clockwise positive or negative number?

A

negative

52
Q

is anti clockwise positive or negative number?

A

positive

53
Q

what is the formula for creating a balanced rod (pivot in middle)?

A

50x = 40
->40/50
->0.8m

54
Q

how do you find out how much the rod tilted/what the length is to make the rod balanced if the pivot is not in the middle and it has a weight?

A

smaller side = length x force
larger side = (weight x length from pivot to CG) + (all large side length of ride x force)
-unit depends on what you’re finding out

55
Q

is the force applied on the right of the rod anti clockwise or clockwise force?

A

clockwise

56
Q

is the force applied on the left of the rod anti clockwise or clockwise force?

A

anti clockwise
