an object depend on? object is
What is the equation that Weight = mass x gravitational field strength if [W=mg]
links weight, mass and
gravitational field
strength?
What is the relationship The more mass an object has the greater its
between the mass of an gravitational field
object and its gravitational
field?
What is the unit of Newtons per kg [N/kg]
gravitational field
strength?
What is the unit of weight? Newtons (N)
What is the unit of mass? Kilograms (kg)
What is the 'centre of A single point in an object where the weight may be
mass' of an object? considered to act
How do you measure Using a calibrated spring-balance (a newtonmeter)
weight?
What's the relationship They are directly proportional
between the weight and
the mass of an object?
A single force that replaces a number of forces acting
What is a resultant force? on an object that has the same effect as all of the
original forces acting together
When does a force do When the force causes a displacement of the object
work on an object?
What is the equation that work done = force × distance [W=Fs]
links work done, force and
distance?

What is the unit of work Joules (J)
done?
When is one joule of work When a force of one newton causes a displacement
done? of one metre; 1 joule = 1 newton-metre
When work is done An increase in temperature of the object
against the frictional
forces acting on an object
what does it cause?

change the shape of a
stationary object?
What is deformation? A change in shape
What is elastic When the force is removed the deformation is
deformation? reversed
What is inelastic When the force is removed the deformation is not
deformation? fully reversed; the change in shape is permanent
When does extension When an object increases in length
happen in an object?
When does compression When an object decreases in length
happen in an object?
What is the equation, Force = spring constant x extension [F=ke]
spring constant and
