New cards
distance/time
What is the equation for speed
2
New cards
instantaneous speed
the speed of an object at one instant of time
3
New cards
average speed
total distance divided by total time
4
New cards
Relative motion
how fast one thing is compared to another
5
New cards
speed
a measure of how far something travels in a particular time
6
New cards
distance time graph
a graph that compares time against distance is a
7
New cards
curve of the graph
Acceleration is shown by the
8
New cards
accelerating
if the speed is increasing the object is...
9
New cards
atomspheric pressure
the pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere
10
New cards
higher the pressure
the lower you go the...
11
New cards
lower the pressure
the higher you go the...
12
New cards
water pressure
the downward push of water that increases as you go down
13
New cards
incompressible
Not able to be compressed or squashed. Water is...
14
New cards
Greater
In a balloon, the pressure is........than the atomaspheric pressure
15
New cards
Faster
The higher the temperature, the ...... the particles move
16
New cards
Gradient
Speed is shown by the....... of the graph
17
New cards
Still
On a distance time graph, if the line is horizontal, the object is......
18
New cards
Gas pressure
The collisions between air molecules and its container
19
New cards
The pressure increases
The smaller the container the more collisions. This means
20
New cards
Density
Gas has a higher..... at sea level. This is because gravity pulls more molecules towards earth, there is more gas in a certain volume
21
New cards
Pressure \= force/area
What is the calculation for pressure
22
New cards
Fulcrum
A small bar or rod on which something else turns
23
New cards
moment
The turning effect of a force. This depends on the force being applied and how far it is from the pivot
24
New cards
moment\=force x distance from the pivot
What is the equation for moments
25
New cards
The law of moments
An object is in equilibrium if the clockwise moments equal the anticlockwise moments. This is called....
26
New cards
No turning force
If the centre of gravity is above the pivot then there is
27
New cards
A turning force
If the entire of gravity is to the left or right of the pivot there is
