Scalar - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔quantities with only magnitude such as speed,
distance, time and mass.
Vector - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔quantities with a magnitude and direction e.g.
acceleration, force momentum and weight. A vector quantity can be
represented as an arrow, the size representing the magnitude and the
direction, the direction.
Non-contact force - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔the objects are physically separate e.g.
magnetism/gravity/electrostatic.
3 non-contact forces - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔magnetism
gravity
electrostatic

,Contact force - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔objects are physically touching .
3 contact forces - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔friction
resistance
tension
Gravity - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Weight is the force acting on an object due to
gravity, it acts on an objects 'centre of mass' and is directly proportional to
mass
Weigh Equation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Weight = mass x grav. field strength
Resultant forces - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A number of forces acting on an object
may be replaced by a single force that has the same effect as all the
original forces acting together, this single force is the called the resultant
force.
In a tug of war, 1000N to the left and 800N to the right. The resultant force
is 200N to the left

,Free-Body force diagrams - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔When an object is acted on by
more than one force you can draw a free-body force diagram to work out
the resultant force on the object. It shows the forces acting on an object
without any other objects or other forces shown. Each force is shown on
the diagram by a vector, which is an arrow pointing in the direction of the
force. ( the normal force is that component of the contact force that is
perpendicular to the surface that an object contacts)
How to resolve forces (force diagram steps) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1. Decide on
a scale of N per cm.
2. Draw the 2 given forces, giving respect to their length (more cm if more
N) and the angle that you are given
3. Draw a line connecting the end of the 2 other lines to form a triangle
4. Measure the length of this line, then convert it to N by using the scale
Relationship between Joules and work done - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔When a
force causes and object to move, work is done on the object so when the

, force causes displacement. One joule of work is done when a force of 1
newton displaces an object 1 metre. 1 Joule = 1 newton-metre.
Equation for word done - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔work done = force x distance
Elastic Deformation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔When an elastic object is stretched,
bent, twisted or compressed it will return to its original form
Inelastic Deformation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔Polyethene bags will not return to
their original shape after being deformed, this is inelastic.
Hooke's Law - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔The extension of an elastic object is directly
proportional to the force applied as long as the limit of proportionality is not
exceeded:
Equation for force (Hooke's law) - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔force = spring constant x
extention
Extension and compression's relationship with elastic potential energy
explanation - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔A force that stretches or compresses a spring
does work and elastic potential energy is stored in the spring, provided the
spring is not elastically deformed, the work done and elastic potential
energy are equal. Before the limit of proportionality is breeched the
relationship is linear (directly proportional) afterwards it is non-linear
