Distance time graph
1)slanted line
2)
straight line
3)
acceleration
4)curve going down
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
Slanted Line
Slanted line in opposite direction
Straight Lind
Curved line up
Curved line going down
Flat line on x axis
Constant acceleration
,
constant decelerations
,
Constant 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
Burn
fuel
makes heat
Boils water and makes steam
Turns a
turbine
Turns a
generator
makes electricity
