Force

Cards (26)

  • speed = distance / time (m/s)
  • distance = speed x time
  • time = distance / speed (s)
  • weight = mass x g(9.8)
  • moment(Nm) = force(n) x distance(m)
  • purity = mass of pure substance / total mass x 100
  • relative motion in the same direction = greater speed - smaller speed
  • relative motion in different direction = add together
  • pressure = force / area
  • principal of moments = w1 x d1 = w2 x d2
  • the larger the area, the smaller the pressure applied.
  • higher temperature = higher gas pressure
    • bigger kinetic energy due to more frequent collision between the gas particles
    • more force exerted to the surface
  • when in a circular motion, the speed of the object is constant
  • equilibrium = when two forces are balanced and staying the same - the object is either in a constant speed or stationary
  • resultant force on an object when it's at equilibrium = 0N(no force)
  • acceleration is the change in sped or a direction - force not balanced
  • moment is the turning effect of a force and is measured in Nm
  • gas pressure is the total force that is acting on a surface area because of the collision of gas particles with the surface.
  • normal reaction force is the force that stops objects from falling through solid surfaces
  • lift is the force that stops airplanes from falling down through the air
  • thrust is the force produced by engines
  • friction
    force produced when solid surfaces rub against each other
  • air resistance
    force produced when an object moves through the air
  • applied force
    force produced when a person pulls or pushes an object
  • water resistance
    force produced when an object moves through water
  • upthrust
    force that stops object from sinking on water
