Unit 3 Forces and Energy

3.1 Forces and motion

Q1) What is a balanced force?

Whenh two opposite forces are equal

Q2) What is unbalanced forces?​


​
When two opposite forces are not equal

Q3) Unbalanced forces can make an object….(write 3 correct statements)

1.​ Start moving 2.change direction 3. Change speed

3.2 Speed

Q1) Write an equation for speed, when you know the distance travelled, and the
time taken.

Speed = distance divided by time

Q2) An Olympic sprinter completes the 100m race in a time of 20 s. Calculate the
average speed of the sprinter

………………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………………

Q3) A car travels a distance of 210 m in a time of 6 s


A.​ Calculate the speed of the car in
m/s……………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………
B.​ Calculate the distance in m, travelled by the car in
14s……………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………
…………………………………………………
C.​ Calculate the time in s for the car to travel a distance of
1925m………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………

3.3 Describing movement

Q1)
A.​ Sketch a distance/time graph for an object moving at a constant speed
away from a starting position
B.​ On the same graph sketch another line to show another object moving
slower, away from the same starting position
Label this line ‘slower;.
C.​ On the same graph sketch another line to show another object moving
faster, away from the same starting position
Label this line ‘faster’.

Q2) Marcus is making a journey from home to a shop


For the first part of the journey, he rides his bicycle at a constant speed.
Marcus then stops to talk to a friend
For the last part of the journey, he continues to ride his bicycle at a slower
constant speed than before until he arrives at the shop.

A.​ Sketch a distance/time graph for Marcus’s journey


B.​ Label each part of Marcus’s journey on your graph

3.4 Turning forces


Q1) a. Describe what is meant by the word ‘moment’ in physics turning effect

b. Write the equation that links moment, force and distance moment =
force multiplied by distance

Q2) Complete the sentence

The further.. you push from the pivot the stronger the moment

Q3) Sofia pushes on the door handle with a force of 4 N at the position shown in
the drawing.

Calculate the moment caused by this force

Q4) A moment of 1.8 Nm is needed to turn this brake lever.

Calculate the force F needed to produce a moment in 1.8Nm


3.5 Pressure between solids

Q1) Write down the equation that links pressure, force and area

pressure= force divided by area

Q2) Explain why a nail that goes into wood has a sharp point

Because ethe smaller the surface area is the more pressure there will be

Q3) How do we increase the pushing effect of the force?

1.​ Making the surface area sharper or smaller 2. Putting more force

3.6 Pressure in liquids and gases

Q1) Submarines are ships which are designed to go underwater. Explain why
submarines that go to the deepest parts of the ocean must be very strong.

Because the deeper you go the more pressure there will be so it has to be strong

Q2) Complete the statement

The deeper you go in the water the higher the pressure there will be

Q3) Humans live the the highest/lowest atmospheric pressure

Q4)When the temperature around the balloons gets higher, explain what
happens to the balloon. Use particle theory in your explanation

The hight the temperature around the balloon is the more energy the particles will
have there for they will collide more with the walls of the balloon resulting with
enlagrments of the balloon
Q5) A metal container is connected to a vacuum pump. The vacuum pump
removes all the air from inside the metal container
There is now a vacuum inside the metal container
a.​ Explain why the pressure in a vacuum is zero
………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………
………………
b.​ The metal container collapses when there is a vacuum inside. Explain why​
………………………………………………………………………………………
………………………………………………………………………………………
………………

3.7 Particles on the Move

Q1) What are the 2 factors for the speed of diffusion?

1.​ Temperature difference in concentration of particles

Q2) Explain what is meant by diffusion

The overall random movement of particles from an area with high concentration
to and area with lower concentration

Q3) Which of these explains why Zara smells the perfume?


a.​ All the gas particles of the perfume move in one direction
b.​ All the gas particles of the perfume move randomly
c.​ All the particles in the air move in one direction
d.​ All the particles in the air are stationary

Q4) Which of these will result in diffusion?


Write the letters for all the correct statements
a.​ Adding milk to coffee
b.​ Adding sand to water
c.​ Adding salty water to pure water
d.​ Allowing gas from a cylinder to escape into the air
e.​ Throwing small pieces of rock into the air

Q5) Which of the following statements is correct about liquids


a.​ Pressure increases with depth
b.​ Pressure decreases with depth
c.​ Pressure does not depend on depth
d.​ There is no pressure in a liquid
