ANSWERS GRADED A+
◍ Which quantities have magnitude or size only?.
Answer: Scalar
◍ What is gravitational potential energy Formula?.
Answer: GPE=mghmass x gravity x height
◍ kinetic energy Formula.
Answer: KE = ½mv²
◍ What are the properties of vector quantities?.
Answer: They have magnitude and an associated direction
◍ How can you represent a vector quantity using a symbol?.
Answer: With an arrow where the length of the arrow represents the
magnitude, and the direction of the arrow the direction of the vector quantity
◍ Converting GPE to kinetic energy formula.
Answer: GPE = KEmgh=½mv²gh=v²/2rearrange as necessary
◍ Work done formula.
Answer: Work done = force x distance
◍ Power equation.
Answer: Power = energy x time
◍ What is specific heat capacity?.
Answer: amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a
substance by 1 degree Celsius or kelvin
,◍ What is a force?.
Answer: A push or pull that acts on an object due the interaction of another
object
◍ Specific Latent Heat.
Answer: The amount of energy required to change the state of 1kg of a
substance without a change in temp.
◍ What is a contact force?.
Answer: A force that acts between two objects that are physically touching
each other
◍ Specific latent heat equation.
Answer: Energy = mass x Specific latent heat
◍ What is fusion in terms of latent heat?.
Answer: Solid to liquid
◍ Name four contact forces.
Answer: Friction, air resistance, tension and normal
◍ What is Vaporisation in terms of latent heat.
Answer: Liquid to gas
◍ What is Newton's Third Law of motion?.
Answer: When a contact force acts between two objects, both objects
experience the same size force, but in opposite directions
◍ What is a non-contact force?.
Answer: Non-contact forces are forces that act between two objects that are
not physically touching each other
◍ Name three non-contact forces.
Answer: Gravitational force, electrostatic force and magnetic force
◍ What takes more energy out of fusion and vaporisation.
Answer: vaporisation
◍ Particles in a solid.
, Answer: - Strong forces between particles- Particles in a fixed position-
When heated they vibrate more
◍ What is weight?.
Answer: The force acting on an object due to gravity
◍ What does the weight of an object depend on?.
Answer: The gravitational field strength at the point where the object is
◍ What is the equation that links weight, mass and gravitational field
strength?.
Answer: Weight = mass x gravitational field strength if [W=mg]
◍ What is the relationship between the mass of an object and its gravitational
field?.
Answer: The more mass an object has the greater its gravitational field
◍ Particles in a liquid.
Answer: - strong forces between particles (less than solid)- Particles can
move freely- When heated, they gain enough energy to break away
◍ Particles in a gas.
Answer: - Particles move at high speeds in random directions- When heated,
the pressure will increase- Pressure is caused by the impact of gas on the
surface of the container
◍ What is the independent variable?.
Answer: The one we change
◍ What is the unit of gravitational field strength?.
Answer: Newtons per kg [N/kg]
◍ What is the unit of weight?.
Answer: Newtons (N)
◍ What is the unit of mass?.
Answer: Kilograms (kg)
◍ What is the 'centre of mass' of an object?.
