state the si units for length, mass, time, speed and acceleration
m, kg, s, m/s, m/s/s
how to convert between km/h and m/s
km/h to m/s divide, m/s to km/h multiply
what is speed
the rate that something travels in a given time
what is velocity
the distance covered by an object in unit of time
speed, distance, time formulas
.
what is acceleration
acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its speed over time
calculating acceleration
.
calculating final speed
.
what is newton's first law?
Newton's first law is the law of inertia. It states that "objects maintain a constant velocity and direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force. The greater the mass of an object the more inertia it has.
state the types of friction
sliding, rolling, fluid, static.
what is net force?
The net force of an object is defined as the sum of all the forces acting on an object. It is calculated by:
how to calculate mass and weight
use this formula
what is Newton's third law?
Newton's third law states that "for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction" and is the law of action/reaction pairs"
What is gravitational potential energy?
Gravitational potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position in a gravitational field. Objects are considered to have GPE when they are lifted above the ground.
what is the GPE formula?
GPE can be calculated by:
what is kinetic energy?
kinetic energy is the energy of motion
what is the formula for calculating KE
KE can be calculated by:
What is the law of conservation of energy
The law of conservation of energy states that energy is not created or destroyed, it is simply transformed from one type to another. These changes in energy forms are called conversions or transformations
energy
must be transferred in order for an object to do work or heat up.
distance
the measurement between two or more points
speed
the distance an object moves in a given time
acceleration
the change in speed over time
displacement
the distance in a given direction
force
something that changes the motion or produces motion of an object
net force
the sum of all the forces acting on an object
velocity
speed in a given direction
mass
the quantity of matter an object has
weight
the force of gravity acting upon an object
friction
the force that resists an objects motion when it is in contact with another surface
