http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zer5IUrZa2Y P2.1 Force
Overview Forces can cause changes to the shape or motion of an object. Objects can move in a straight line at a constant speed. They can also change their speed and/or direction (accelerate or decelerate). Graphs can help us to describe the movement of an object. These may be distance–time graphs or velocity–time graphs. Candidates should use their skills, knowledge and understanding to: • interpret data from tables and graphs relating to speed, velocity and acceleration • evaluate the effects of alcohol and drugs on stopping distances • evaluate how the shape and power of a vehicle can be altered to increase the vehicle’s top speed • draw and interpret velocity–time graphs for objects that reach terminal velocity, including a consideration of the forces acting on the object
P2.1.1 Force - Objectives • Find out what happens when two objects interact • Investigate the ‘resultant’ force on an object • State what happens when a resultant force acts on an object

If the resultant force acting on a stationary object is: Zero The object will remain stationary Not zero The object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.
If the resultant force acting on a moving object is: Zero The object will continue to move at the same speed and in the same direction Not zero The object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force.

P2.1.2 Force and Motion - Objectives • State what happens when a resultant force acts on an object • Investigate what affects the acceleration of an object • Use F = m x a in calculations
3N 8N The object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant force. 5N Resultant Force = Resultant Force = Mass x Acceleration [N] [kg] [m/s2]
Q1. The vehicle has a mass of 1200kg. The engine is applying a forward force of 500N and the friction from the road is a force of 70N. a) What is the acceleration of the vehicle? (show your working) Total forward force = 500 – 70 = 430N Mass = 1200kg F = ma a = F/m = 430/1200 = 0.36 m/s²
P2.1.2 Force and Motion - Objectives • Read a velocity-time graph • Use a graph to perform calculations • Recognise the difference between speed and velocity • Calculate the acceleration of an object
P2.1.2 Force and Motion • Finish your table, calculating the speed (velocity) of the paper. • Plot a graph on A4 graph paper: • Velocity (in m/s) on vertical (y) axis • Time (in s) on horizontal (x) axis • What does this graph show? This is not an easy task – do not be afraid of getting it wrong
Velocity-time graph • A mountain biker accelerates uniformly down a ramp taking 10s to reach 20m/s. • They stay at 20m/s for the next 30s of the course. • They then take 5s to slow down to 10m/s as they enter the technical, steep part of the track. They stay at 10m/s for the next 20 seconds. • Breaking out of the woods they accelerate to 30m/s in 5s as they hit the high speed part of the course. They maintain 30m/s for the next 20s. • They cross the finish line and it takes them 5s to come to a stop. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSqj8c8LaBQ&feature=related
All these tasks need to be completed at some point Complete ‘Speed and acceleration 2’ worksheet Answer all Summary Questions in Textbook: Pages 109, 111 and 113 Past exam questions: 1, 2 and 3 on page 117 Sort out your book • Stick in sheets • Complete unfinished work
Thinking Distance + Braking Distance Stopping Distance = • Drinking • Drugs • Tiredness • Distractions • Icy road • Wet road • Poor brakes • Worn tyres
Thinking Distance + Braking Distance Stopping Distance = Speed
Thinking Distance + Braking Distance Stopping Distance = Speed
P2.1.3 Forces and Braking When the brakes of a vehicle are applied, work done by the friction force between the brakes and the wheel reduces the kinetic energy of the vehicle and the temperature of the brakes increase. Kinetic Energy Heat Energy

P2.1.5 Force and Elasticity - Objectives • Realise what happens when a force acts on an object • Reason why objects stretch and store energy • Relate stored energy to the work done • Investigate how the extension is related to the force applied
