What is a moment?? The turning effect produced by a force around a pivot point. What is the word formula for moments?? $$ \text{moment} = \text{force} \times \text{perpindicular distance} $$ What is the symbol formula for moments?? $$ M = Fd $$ The formula $M = Fd$ is the formula for…?? Moments. What is the principle of moments?? When a body is balanced, the total clockwise moment about a point equals the total anticlockwise moment.

See [[Physics - SUVAT Equations]]S , it’s largely the same. If you have two cars which decelerate the same amount ($a$) over the same distance ($s$), which SUVAT equation can you use?? $$ v^2 = u^2 + 2as $$ Two cars, $A$ and $B$, have a $100ms^{-1}$ and $80ms^{-1}$ velocity respectively. Car $B$ reaches a final velocity of $0ms^{-1}$. Car $A$ reaches a final velocity of $x\, ms^{-1}$. They decelerate the same amount ($a$) over the same distance ($s$).

When is terminal velocity reached?? When the resultant force on a falling object is zero. What’s the formula for percentage difference?? $$ \text{percentage difference} = \frac{\text{actual} - \text{yours}}{\text{actual}} $$ What’s an alternative to the words more/less or goes up/down in Physics?? Increases. What’s an alternative to the phrase “balanced forces”?? Net force or resultant force is zero. What is the centre of gravity?? The point on an object at which the entire weight of the object may be considered to act.

What is the wordy definition of Newton’s second law of motion?? The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force ating on the object, is in the direction of the net force and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. What’s the basic jist of Newton’s second law of motion?? Acceleration is affected in two ways: Increased by more force Decreased by more mass Acceleration is directly proportional to?
