Yr 10- Forces And Motion Flashcards
Distance
Length of the total path traveled
Do you accelerate for the whole race? I
The max acceleration would be at the start of the race as the sprinter is accelerating from zero. The max velocity would be at the middle of the race
Displacement
Length of the direct line for. Start to finish
Speed
Distance travelled per unit time
Velocity
Displacement per unit time
How to go from km/h to m/ s
Divide by 3.6
Acceleration
When a object Changes its velocity
Systematic error
Error caused by inn accuracy in the system
Example of systematic error
Measuring instruments not used properly or something wrong with instrument
Random error
Caused by unknown and unpredictable changes I. The experiment
Example of random error
Change in the environment
Electronics noise in electronic instrument
Vector quantity
Quantities with magnitude and direction
Eg of vector quantity
Displacement
Acceleration
Scalar quantity
Quantities with magnitude only
Eg of scalar
Speed
Time
Distance
