    Constant speed, stationary,curved line, deceleration  
  • How can u calculate speed on distance time graph
    Find gradient
  • What does gradient on velocity time graph mean?

    Acceleration
  • Velocity time graph
    1. Slanted Line
    2. Slanted line in opposite direction
    3. Straight Lind
    4. Curved line up
    5. Curved line going down
    6. Flat line on x axis
    Constant acceleration, constant decelerationsConstant velocity,increase acceleration, increase deceleration, stationary
  • What is areas under velocity time graph?
    Distance
  • Why does object orbiting circular motion have constant speed and acceleration?

    Direction is changing
  • What is inertia?

    Tendency for objects to remain at rest
  • What is inertia mass?

    How difficult it is to change velocity of object
  • What 2 things increase circular motion
    Speed and mass
  • What decreases circular motion
    Orbital radius
  • What is newton's third law
    When 2 objects interact they exert equal and opposit force on ineWhen 2 objects interact they exert equal and opposite force on one another
  • How-to reduce damage from car crahs
    Spread the change in momentum over period of time by reducing force using safety features
  • How do crumple zones reduce force?

    Small amount of time for car fo lose momentum before it crumple
  • Sea belts can:

    Stop u from flying out
  • 9 Types of energy
    Elastic potential, chemical, thermal,kinetic, gravitational potential,nuclear,electrostatic,magnetic
  • What are the 4 ways energy transferred:

    Mechanically,heating,electriccaly,radiation
  • Vehicle slowing down is:
    Kinetic to thermal
  • How to reduce unwanted energy transfers:

    Thermal insulation and lubricant.
  • Thermal insulation
    • Reduce hear loss by convection by having thick walla with low thermal conductivity
    • Fill air gap with insulating form
    • Double glazing windows have tiny gaps which reduces convection
  • Cons of fossil fuels
    Non renewable, produces co2 when burned which is a greenhouse gas,produces toxic gas when burned
  • Nuclear fuels cons

    Don't produce any pollutants and takes longer to run out
  • Nuclear fuels pros

    Produces radioactive waste, expensive and runs out
  • How do wind turbines work

    Movement of wind generator converts kinetic energy into electricity
  • How does lubrication improve efficiency
    Spreads oli substance which reduces friction so more useful energy
  • Method to make electricity
    1. Burn fuel makes heat
    2. Boils water and makes steam
    3. Turns a turbine
    4. Turns a generator makes electricity
