New cards
scalar measurement
A measurement that only has magnitude and no direction.
2
New cards
examples of Scalar
Mass, Speed, Temperature, Distance
3
New cards
vector measurement
A measurement that has both magnitude and direction.
4
New cards
examples of vector measurements
Velocity, Acceleration, Momentum, Displacement and Forces
5
New cards
Distance
The total length of the pathway taken between the starting and finish point of a journey.
6
New cards
displacement
The location of something relative to the journey’s starting location. Not based on the path taken between the two points.
7
New cards
Formula for Calculating Speed on a Distance Time Graph
Distance/Time, Rise/Run, Gradient
8
New cards
Formula for Acceleration
Change in Speed/Change in Time
9
New cards
Acceleration on a Velocity Time Graph
The slope/line of the graph
10
New cards
The area under the Slope of the Line represents in a Velocity Time Graph
Displacement
11
New cards
representation of constant speed on a Velocity Time Graph?
Straight Parallel Line with 0 Acceleration
12
New cards
non-contact force
A force that can act on an object without touching it.
13
New cards
contact force
A force that acts on an object through touching it
14
New cards
Force Field
The invisible area at which a force can act
15
New cards
Gravity
ravity is a Non-Contact force that acts on all objects by attracting them together based on their mass.
16
New cards
What can alter the size of gravitational forces?
Distance between and mass of objects
17
New cards
What is mass?
the amount of matter in an object, measured on a scale in kg, g, tonnes…
18
New cards
What is weight?
gravity pulling on mass and is a force, it is measured with a spring balance and in Newtons
19
New cards
Calculation for Weight
Force(w)= Mass x Gravity
20
New cards
Gravitational Force Formula
21
New cards
Acceleration Formula
Final Velocity - Initial Velocity
\-----------------------------------
Time

New cards
Equations of Motion
Final velocity (v) = initial velocity (u) + acceleration (A) x time (t)
\
V^2 = u^2 + 2 x a x displacement (s)
\
s = u x t + 1/2 x a x t^2
\
V^2 = u^2 + 2 x a x displacement (s)
\
s = u x t + 1/2 x a x t^2
23
New cards
force
A push, pull or twist that either increase/decrease the speed, Change direction or change the shape of an object.
24
New cards
Newton’s First Law of Motion
Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
25
New cards
inertia
A property of matter by which it remains at rest or in unchanging motion unless acted on by some external force. \`
26
New cards
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
An object will accelerate if an unbalanced force is applied to it
27
New cards
Newton’s Third Law
For every force there is a force of the same size acting in the opposite direction.
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
28
New cards
Formula for Weight
Mass x Gravity
29
New cards
field
A region in space where an object would experience a force
30
New cards
work
The product created when a force is applied to an object in order to move or change the object.
31
New cards
energy
The ability to do work.
32
New cards
formula for work
Force x Distance
33
New cards
2 forms of Energy
Kinetic and Potential
34
New cards
kinetic energy
The energy found within an object because of tis mass and its velocity.
35
New cards
formula for Kinetic Energy
1/2 x mass x velocity^2
36
New cards
Gravitational Potential Energy?
The energy an object has because of its mass and its position in a gravitational field.
37
New cards
formula for Gravitational Potential Energy
Mass(kg) x Gravity(ms^-2) x height (m)
