AQA A LEVEL Physics paper 2 - Foundation
1. scalar quantity: a quantity that can be described by magnitude only
and has no direction
2. vector quantity: a quantity that has both magnitude and direction
3. non-contact force: a force that acts at a distance
4. contact force: A force that is exerted only when two objects are
touching.
5. transverse wave: A wave in which the particles of the medium move
perpendic- ularly to the direction the wave is traveling
6. longitudinal wave: a wave in which the particles of the medium
vibrate parallel to the direction of wave motion
7. v = f»: The equation that links wave speed, frequency and wavelength
8. Frequency: the number of complete wavelengths that pass a point in a
given time
9. North pole and North Pole: repel
10.North Pole and South Pole: attract
11.Horizontal line on a distance time graph: The object is stationary
12.Horizontal line on a velocity time graph: The object is moving at a
constant velocity
