PHYSICS UNIT 2 Physics P2 for GCSE Additional Science or GCSE Physics AQA GCSE Science PHYSICS 2 Unit P2.1 Forces and their effects Appreciate that forces can cause changes to the shape or motion of an object. Not only can objects can move in a straight line at a constant speed but they can also change their speed and/ or direction (accelerate or decelerate). Be able to use/produce graphs can help us to describe the movement of an object. These may be distance-time graphs or velocity-time graphs

bodily movement of the mass centre down the slope and rotational due to the wheel spin. Now the source of this energy is the loss in potential energy as the wheel moves down the slope. If it is reasonable to assume that friction effects are insignificant then no energy is lost. Thus the loss in potential energy becomes a gain in kinetic energy. Hence‚ Loss in potential energy = mgh‚ is equal to the Gain in kinetic energy = 0.5mv2 + 0.5Iω 2 where v = velocity of the mass centre down slope (m/sec) ω

Introduction The aim of this experiment was to improve our understanding of the model of an Electric Field and Electric Potential. This was done by examining the locations between multiple electrodes connected to a power source of DC electricity. Finding the lines of equal potential difference for two different 2-dimesioanl charge distributions. An equipotential line is a line that has a potential difference equal to zero. Using voltage probes‚ the equipotential lines found were sketched along with the lines

Space based visual attention is when we attend to a certain area of space. This may be for several reasons (e.g. hearing a noise).In the past 30 years of so there has been much research conducted into this area‚ mostly using lab based computer experiments‚ manipulating cues and targets to see how we react to and process them. One of the earliest and most influential metaphors‚ leading the way for many of the others is that by Posner (1980). Posner (1980) came up with the spotlight metaphor to space

from the straw. The reaction is the movement of the car! The moving Balloon Powered Car has kinetic energy‚ but even an object that isn’t moving has energy. This energy is called potential energy. The potential energy of the car is in the elastic material of the balloon. As the balloon fills with air‚ it builds more potential energy. As the air flows from the balloon‚ it changes to kinetic energy. This is the conservation of energy. Problem: Using the old mousetrap car base and wheels‚ we will investigate

the kinetic energy that will be present when the liquid is being shaken around. Kinetic energy‚ being constant energy used at work which would be the kinetic state‚ is one of the two types of energy that can be in one or two states. The other is potential energy which is stored energy. The independent variable was the amount of hydrate sodium thiosulfate put into the test tubes. The dependent variables were the time it took for the hydrate sodium thiosulfate to melt and the process in which the
