Velocity And Distance Time Graph's

Question 1

What does the gradient of a distance time graph tell you?

Answer 1

how fast your object is travelling

Question 2

What does gradient equal?

Answer 2

Speed

Question 3

What is acceleration?

Answer 3

Acceleration is how quickly velocity is changing

Question 4

What is the formula for acceleration?

Answer 4

Change in velocity
Acceleration=____________________

                          Time taken

Question 5

What is the unit for acceleration?

Answer 5

M/s (2)

Question 6

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Answer 6

Speed is just how fast you’re going with no regard to direction.

Velocity however must have the directions specified

Question 7

What does gradient equal in a velocity time graph?

Answer 7

Gradient = acceleration

Question 8

What is gravitational force?

Answer 8

Gravitational force is the force of attraction between all masses

Question 9

What two important effects does gravity have on all matters?

Answer 9

1) on the surface of the planet it makes all things accerlate to the ground
2) it gives everything a weight

Question 10

What is mass and what is weight?

Answer 10

Mass is just the amount of stuff in an object for any given object to this will have the same value anywhere in the universe

Weight is caused by the pull of the gravitational force

Question 11

What is weight measured in?

Answer 11

Weight is a force measured in newtons

Question 12

How is weight measured?

Answer 12

It is measured using a spring balance or newton metre

Question 13

Mass is not a force. What is it measured in and with?

Answer 13

Mass is measured in kilograms with a mass balance

Question 14

What is the equation for weight, mass and gravitational field strength?

Answer 14

Weight= mass X gravitational field

Strength

Question 15

What is the value of the gravity strength on earth and on the moon?

Answer 15

Earth = 10 N/kg

Moon= 1.6 N/kg

Question 16

What are the units of acceleration mass and weight

Answer 16

Acceleration = m/s (2)

Mass= kg

Weight= N

Question 17

A car goes from 0 to 30 m/s (2) in 6 seconds. Calculate its acceleration

Answer 17

(30-0)
________ = 5 m/s (2)

6

Question 18

Name the force that keeps the earth orbiting around the sun

Answer 18

Gravity
