QuestionAnswer
What are the units of density?Kilograms per metres cubed (kg/ m3
What is Density?Density is the amount of mass in a volume (mass/volume)
Which state of matter is usually the densest?Solid
What is the name of the equipment you would use to measure the volume of a solid by using water?A displacement can
Describe mass?Mass is the measurement of the amount of matter, measured in Kg
Describe Weight?Weight is a Force caused by a Mass in a Gravitational Field
State how to calculate weight?Weight (N) = Mass (Kg) x Gravitational Field Strength (N/Kg)
Why must there be a resultant force acting an object moving in a circle?1) The object is constantly changing direction so its velocity is changing 2) Velocity is changing so its accelerating 3) Acceleration can only be caused by a resultant force
What is the name of the force acting on an object moving in a circle?Centripetal Force
Describe the velocity of an object moving in a circle?The object is constantly changing direction so its velocity is changing
State Newton's second law in terms of momentum?Force(N) = Change of momentum (Kg m/s) / time taken (s)
What is Newton's third law?When two objects interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal and opposite
What is equilibrium?The forces are balances so the resultant force is zero
When two bodies interact, what can you say about the size and direction of the action and reaction force?Equal and Oppersite
State the conservation of momentum?The momentum before the collision will be the same as the momentum after the collision
State calculation to find momentum?Momentum (Kg m/s) = Mass (Kg) x Velocity (m/s)
State three factors that will increase the thinking distance of a car?High speed, tiredness, alcohol, drugs
State three factors that will increase the braking distance of a car?High speed, worn brakes, worn tyres, poor conditions (ice/ water) of road
What two factors make up the overall stopping distance of a car?Thinking distance + Braking distance
Explain how air bags, a crumple zone, seatbelts reduce injury:Increase the time taken for the object to stop reducing the rate of change of momentum so, reducing force
