How do you calculate
momentum?
1a
-Velocity
-Momentum
Drop a parachute from a
certain height record the
results and repeat with
different sized parachutes.
force (N) = change in
momentum (kg m/s) /
time taken (s)
Elastic objects will be able to
recover to it's initial
formation/shape. However when
the force has over come this limit it
cannot return to it's original shape.
F = m x a
Magnitude: Measured in
N
Direction: Drag, push,
pull etc.
moment (Nm) = force
(N) x perpendicular
distance from the pivot.
-Change direction
-Change velocity
-Change Shape
-Change density
momentum (kg m/s) =
mass (kg) x velocity
(m/s)
-Speed

How do you calculate the
resultant force when the
bodies are in opposite
directions ( -> <- )
Outline Newton's third
law.
How do you calculate
the resultant force when
the bodies are in the
same direction.( -> -> )
Outline the centre of
mass.
How do you calculate
the stopping distance?
What affect the
vehicle's stopping
distance?
How do you calculate
weight?
What does a force-
extension graph show?
How is the force-
extension graph
related to hook's law?
What does that law of
conservation state?
2a
That when two objects
interact they are both
exerting equal forces on
each other.
Greater force - smaller
force.
Every object has a centre
of mass at which when it
is suspended will be
balanced from this point.
force a + force b
-Speed of the car
-Mass of the car
-Weather conditions
-Condition of the car
-Condition of the roads
stopping distance =
thinking distance +
braking distance
How mucha a material
stretches in a certain
amount of time.
w = m x g
w = weight (force of gravity)
(N)
g = acceleration due to gravity
(m/s^2)
Whenever object interact,
the total momentum
before is equal to the total
momentum after.
The initial linear region is a
straight diagonal line which
shows the relationship
between force and extension.

What is a scalar
quantity?
Why does an object
reach terminal velocity
when it is falling?
What is a vector
quantity?
What is the principle
of moments?
What is the resultant
force?
When we say an object
is in equilibrium, we
mean it is...
3a
When an object is falling it is
accelerating due to gravity,
When the drag force becomes
equal to the force it has
reached terminal velocity.
Only has magnitude
Has magnitude and
direction
If the object is balanced
then the clock-wise and
anti-clockwise moment
will be equal.
The resultant force is
the overall force acting
upon an object in a
direction
It has come to rest at its
centre of mass when
suspended.
