FORCES SYLLABUS
1. - Recognize quantities that have a magniture and direction (vector) as being different from those that have only magnitude (scalar).
- I can add forces along one line
2. - I know and can use the equation:
Average speed = Distance travelled/ Time taken
3. - Measuring speed using tickertape
- I know and can use the equation:
Acceleration = Change in Velocity/ Time Taken
4. - I can draw and interpret distance-time graphs
- I can draw and interpret velocity-time graphs
- I can calculate accleration from the gradient of a velocity-time graph
- I can calculate the distance travelled from the area under a velocity-time graph
5. - I know how to describe forces as the push or pull of one body on another and the different types of forces including friction
- I know that if all forces on an object are balanced, it either remains at rest or continues in a straight line at constant speed (Newton's First Law)
- I understand and can use the formula:
Force = Mass x Acceleration (Newton's Second Law)
6. - I understand that the weight of a body acts through its centre of gravity (mass)
- I understand and can use the formula:
Weight = Mass x Gravity
7. - I can describe the forces acting on falling objects and explain why they reach terminal velocity
8. - I can describe the factors affecting stopping distance including speed, mass, road condition and reaction time
9. - I know and can use the formula:
Moment = Force x Perpendicular Distance from Pivot
- Recall and use the principle of moments for a simple system of parallel forces acting in one plane
- Forces on either end of a balancing beam can balance each other despite either being lighter or heavier by varying their distance from the pivot.
- Define equilibrium as being the state where all forces and moments are balanced
10. - I can describe how extention varies with applied force for helical springs
11. - I understand that a material obey's Hooke's Law for as long as it's force-extension graph is linear
- I can describe how extension varies with applied force for metal wires and rubber bands
- I can add forces along one line
