Q

RESULTANT FORCES + WORK DONE:What happens with energy and forces when an object is moved?

A

the force does work to move the object and energy is transferred from one store to another

Q

RESULTANT FORCES + WORK DONE:
What are the two types of stores that energy can be transferred to?

A
  • useful storesL energy is transferred usefully (e.g. lifting a load)
  • unuseful stores: energy is wasted
    you can still say work is done because energy is transferred

Q

RESULTANT FORCES + WORK DONE:
What happens with forces and energy when you push something across a rough surface (like are carpet)?

A
  • you are doing work against frictional forces
  • energy is being transferred to the kinetic enrgy store of the object because it starts moving
  • some is also transferred to thermal energy stores due to the friction
  • this will cause the overall temerature of the object to increase (like rubbing your hands together to warm them up)

Q

RESULTANT FORCES + WORK DONE:
W = Fs
When working out work done, what units do you need for each value?

A

work done = joules, J
force = newtons, N
distance (moved along the line of action of the force) = meters, m

Q

CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES:
What are the two types of quantities?

A

Vector and Scalar

17
Q

CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES:
What is the difference between vector and scalar quantities?

A

Vector quantities have a magnitude and a direction
Scalar quantities only have a magnitude and no direction

18
Q

CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES:
Name 5 physical quantities that are vector quantities?

A
  • force
  • velocity
  • displacement
  • acceleration
  • momentum
19
Q

CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES:
Name 5 physical quantities hat are scalar quantities?

A
  • speed
  • distance
  • mass
  • temperature
  • time
20
Q

CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES:
How are vector quantities represented?

A
  • by an arrow
  • the length of the arrow shows the magnitude
  • direction of the arrow shows direction of the quantity
21
Q

CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES:
TRUE OR FALSE: Force is a vector quantity?

22
Q

CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES:
What are the two different types of forces?

A

contact or non-contact

23
Q

CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES:
What is a force?

A

a push or pull on an object that is caused by it interacting with something

24
Q

CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES:
What is a contact force?

A

When two objects have to be touching for a force to act

25
CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES: Name 4 types of contact force?
- friction - air resistance - tension in ropes - normal contact force
26
CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES: What is a non-contact force?
when the objects do not need to be touching for the force to act
27
CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES: Name 3 non-contact forces?
- magnetic force - gravitational force - electrostatic force
28
CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES: What happens when two objects interact?
there is a force produced on both objects
29
CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES: What is an interaction pair?
a pair of forces that are equal and opposite and act on two interacting objects
30
CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES: Explain how the earth and sun produce and interaction pair?
- thay are attracted to each other by the gravitational force - this is a non-contact force - an equal but opposite attraction is felt by both the sun and the earth
31
CONTACT AND NON-CONTACT FORCES: Explain how a chair and the ground produce a normal contact force?
- a chair exerts a force on the ground, whilst the ground pushes back with the same force (the normal contact force). - Equal but opposit forces are felt by both the chair and the ground
