Card preview (24)

#1
Front (Question)

Scalar Quantity

Back (Answer)

Has a magnitude only

#2
Front (Question)

Vector Quantity

Back (Answer)

Has both a magnitude and direction

#3
Front (Question)

Displacement

Back (Answer)

Final position - initial position (pythag sometimes) -Is a vector

#4
Front (Question)

Speed

Back (Answer)

distance/time - m/s or km/h

#5
Front (Question)

Velocity

Back (Answer)

displacement/time - m/s or m/s^-1 with a direction

#6
Front (Question)

Position-time graphs

Back (Answer)

• Can be used to determine both speed & velocity • Straight line = object is stopped • Angle of slope determines speed/velocity • triangle formula needed sometimes

#7
Front (Question)

Velocity-time graphs

Back (Answer)

• Graph looks like a sideways T • Velocity of an object over period of time • When moving from positive to negative object is changing direction

#8
Front (Question)

Acceleration

Back (Answer)

acceleration = change in velocity/time m/s^2 or m/s^-2

#9
Front (Question)

Converting between m/s and km/h

Back (Answer)

multiply or divide by 3.6

#10
Front (Question)

Unit for forces

Back (Answer)

Newtons

#11
Front (Question)

Contact forces (FATSPN)

Back (Answer)

-Friction -Air resistance -Tension -Spring -Normal -Push/pull

#12
Front (Question)

Non-contact forces (GEM)

Back (Answer)

-Gravity -Electrical forces -Magnetism GEM

#13
Front (Question)

Net force

Back (Answer)

Sum of all forces acting upon an object

#14
Front (Question)

Balanced & unbalanced force

Back (Answer)

Balanced = equal/zero Unbalanced = not equal

#15
Front (Question)

Newton’s First Law

Back (Answer)

An object at rest stays at rest, or in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

#16
Front (Question)

Force due to gravity

Back (Answer)

Force due to gravity = mass x gravitational field strength

#17
Front (Question)

Gravitational potential energy (J) (Joules)

Back (Answer)

Eg = mass x gravity (9.8m/s2) x change in height

#18
Front (Question)

Newton’s Second Law

Back (Answer)

Force = mass x acceleration Mass & acceleration inversely proportional

#19
Front (Question)

Kinetic Energy (J) (Joules)

Back (Answer)

Ek = 1/2 x mass x velocity^2 Ek = 1/2mv^2

#20
Front (Question)

Newton’s Third Law

Back (Answer)

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction

#21
Front (Question)

Potential energy types (CEEG)

Back (Answer)

-Chemical -Elastic -Electrical -Gravitational CEEG

#22
Front (Question)

Relationship between Kinetic and Potential

Back (Answer)

Inversely proportional

#23
Front (Question)

Force due to gravity

Back (Answer)

= mass x gravity

#24
Front (Question)

Rocket example

Back (Answer)

⬆force = reaction 🚀 ⬇force = action
