Speed vs. Velocity
Speed is simply how fast you are travelling…
This car is travelling at a speed
of 20m/s
Velocity is “speed in a given direction”…

The graph is of a sky diver, describe what is happening:
At A he is accelerating due to his weight, as his speed
increases the air resistance increases until at B they
balance and he reaches a constant velocity called the
terminal velocity. At C he opens his parachute and the air
resistance increases causing him to decelerate at D. At E
the forces are balanced again and he falls at a new lower
terminal velocity until at F he lands

Upthrust:
• upwards force on a body caused by the water being displaced around
it. This is sometimes called buoyancy.
Lift:
• upwards force on an aeroplane.
Thrust:
• forwards force created by a body.
Weight:
• Force due to gravitational attraction.
Friction:
• Force caused by rubbing of surfaces that opposes motion.
Air/Water Resistance:
• Frictional Force caused by particles colliding with the body that
opposes motion.
Magnetic:
• Force caused by magnetic attraction.
Electrostatic:
• Force caused by attraction between charges.
Reaction:
• Force created by a body as a reaction to a force being applied.

Newton’s First Law

Definition:
An object will remain at rest or at a
constant velocity in a straight line
unless there is a resultant force acting
on it.

an object is moving.

Moments



a moment is a turning force about a point.
moment about a point = force x distance
If an object is balanced the sum of the moments on it must add up to
zero.
 Moments clockwise = moments anticlockwise
“Give me a place to stand
and I will move the Earth”
Archimedes
(287 – 212 BC)

Principle of Moments
Separate Science
Drag and drop any of the masses onto the “see – saw” and try to get it to
balance. The masses are in kilograms and the distance in metres.
Stopwatch Graph Home
Centre of Gravity



The weight of an object acts through the centre of
gravity.
If you balance an object the moments on it are zero.
Therefore the centre of gravity must be at the pivot
point when balanced
