A level physics definitions
Across
- 5. Velocity change per unit time
- 8. Distance travelled by a wave front per unit time
- 15. Change in distance per unit time
- 16. The overall or net effect of all the forces on an object
- 18. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. It can only be changed from one form to another
- 24. The point through which a single force on the body does not cause the body to turn
- 25. An object remains at rest or continues with constant velocity unless acted upon by a resultant force
- 27. Force of gravity on a mass of 1 kilogram
Down
- 1. Oscillations of particles are perpendicular to the direction of wave travel about an equilibrium position
- 2. The change of energy of an object is equal to the net work done on the object
- 3. A moving object on which the only force acting is its weight
- 4. Causes all the measurements to be either slightly bigger or slightly smaller than the true value
- 6. A system that has no resultant force and no resultant moment acting on it
- 7. For an object that is in equilibrium the sum of the total clockwise moments about a point is equal to the sum of the total anticlockwise moments about the same point
- 9. Maxiumum velocity of an object achieved when there is no resultant force acting on a falling body
- 10. A pair of equal and opposite parallel forces acting on a body, but not along teh same line, causing the body to turn about a pivot
- 11. If body A exerts a force on body B then body B exerts an equal but opposite force on body A
- 12. Force multiplied by perpendicular distance from the point to the line of action of the force
- 13. Change in displacement per unit time
- 14. Force applied x displacement in the direction of the force
- 17. An object's acceleration is directly proportional to the resultant force acting on the object
- 19. A quantity which has direction as well as size
- 20. Distance in a straight line from a specific point
- 21. Useful output power over input power
- 22. The precision of an instrument is the smallest non-zero reading that can be measured
- 23. Work done per unit time or rate of doing work
- 26. One force x the perpendicular distance between the lines of action of the two forces
