Question: Scalar
Answer: Quantity with magnitude
Question: Vector
Answer: Quantity with direction and magnitude
Question: Displacement-time graph
Answer: v = s/t
Question: Velocity-time graph
Answer: a=v/t
Question: Newtons first law
Answer: If the force acting on a body are in equilibrium, its velocity will remain
constant (or body is still)
Question: Newtons second law
, Page | 2
Answer: If there is a resultant force, then there will be a change in velocity
(acceleration) F=ma
Question: Newtons third law
Answer: If body A exerts force on body B, then body B exerts a force of the
same type on body A. Same line of force, different bodies, same type of force,
same magnitude, different directions of force
Question: Free body diagram
Answer:
Question: GPE
Answer: Egrav=Wh or Egrav=mgh
Question: Upthrust
Answer: Weight of fluid displaced (ρV)g
Question: Laminar flow
Answer: Generally lower speeds, layered, ordered, flow doesn't mix, roughly
parallel and barely any change in speed
Question: Turbulent flow
