distance/time

What is the equation for speed

New cards
2

instantaneous speed

the speed of an object at one instant of time

New cards
3

average speed

total distance divided by total time

New cards
4

Relative motion

how fast one thing is compared to another

New cards
5

speed

a measure of how far something travels in a particular time

New cards
6

distance time graph

a graph that compares time against distance is a

New cards
7

curve of the graph

Acceleration is shown by the

New cards
8

accelerating

if the speed is increasing the object is...

New cards
9

atomspheric pressure

the pressure caused by the weight of the atmosphere

New cards
10

higher the pressure

the lower you go the...

New cards
11

lower the pressure

the higher you go the...

New cards
12

water pressure

the downward push of water that increases as you go down

New cards
13

incompressible

Not able to be compressed or squashed. Water is...

New cards
14

Greater

In a balloon, the pressure is........than the atomaspheric pressure

New cards
15

Faster

The higher the temperature, the ...... the particles move

New cards
16

Gradient

Speed is shown by the....... of the graph

New cards
17

Still

On a distance time graph, if the line is horizontal, the object is......

New cards
18

Gas pressure

The collisions between air molecules and its container

New cards
19

The pressure increases

The smaller the container the more collisions. This means

New cards
20

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

New cards
21

Pressure = force/area

What is the calculation for pressure

New cards
22

Fulcrum

A small bar or rod on which something else turns

New cards
23

moment

The turning effect of a force. This depends on the force being applied and how far it is from the pivot

New cards
24

moment=force x distance from the pivot

What is the equation for moments

New cards
25

The law of moments

An object is in equilibrium if the clockwise moments equal the anticlockwise moments. This is called....

New cards
26

No turning force

If the centre of gravity is above the pivot then there is

New cards
27

A turning force

If the entire of gravity is to the left or right of the pivot there is
