1) Seb walks 200 metres in 40 seconds. What is his speed?
2) Lucy covers 2km in 1,000 seconds. What is her speed?
3) How long would it take Freddie to run 100 metres if he runs

Vector vs Scalar
• A quantity with a magnitude only is called a
scalar. Eg distance, speed, mass
• A quantity with a magnitude and a direction
is called a vector. Eg velocity, weight,
acceleration
• What would the following quantities be?
Force, Time, Momentum, Energy
Displacement
• Displacement is defined as the
change in position of a body.
• s = final position – initial position
• “As the crow flies”
• It is a vector quantity with a
magnitude (m) and a direction

Parachutin’ Stefan
• Stefan decides that he has had
enough of Physics and he jumps
out of a plane.
• Thankfully Rhys was looking
after him and put a parachute
on his back.
If Stefan jumps out at 1000m how long would you expect
him to take to hit the ground if their was no resistance
due to the wind?
s = ut + ½ at2
1000 = ½ 9.8 x t2
t = 14.28 s
Parachutin’ Stefan
• What Velocity will Stefan
theoretically hit at if he did
not reach terminal velocity
and forgot to open his chute?
v = u + at
v = 0 + 9.8 ms-2 x 14.28 s
v = 139.9 ms-1
Parachutin’ Stefan
•
If Stefan strikes the ground and
rebounds at 5.0 ms-1.
1. What is his change in speed?
2. What is his change in velocity?
•
Assume he was travelling at v = 140 ms-1 down.
1. Change in speed = 140 -5 = 135 ms-1
2. Change in velocity = 140 down – 5 up
= 140 + 5 = 145 ms-1 Up

Forces
Balanced and unbalanced forces
Consider a camel standing on a road.
What forces are acting on it?
Reaction
These two forces would be equal –
we say that they are BALANCED.
The camel doesn’t move anywhere.
Weight
Balanced and unbalanced forces
Reaction
What would happen if we took the
road away?
Weight
Balanced and unbalanced forces
What would happen if we took the
road away?
The camel’s weight is no longer
balanced by anything, so the camel
falls downwards…

Force and acceleration
If the forces acting on an object
are unbalanced then the object will
accelerate, like these wrestlers:
Force (in N) = Mass (in kg) x Acceleration (in m/s2)
F
M
A
Force, mass and acceleration
1) A force of 1000N is applied to push
a mass of 500kg. How quickly does
it accelerate?
F
2) A force of 3000N acts on a car to
make it accelerate by 1.5m/s2. How
heavy is the car?
3) A car accelerates at a rate of
5m/s2. If it weighs 500kg how
much driving force is the engine
applying?

Terminal Velocity
Consider a skydiver:
1) At the start of his jump the air
resistance is _______ so he
_______ downwards.
2) As his speed increases his air
resistance will _______
3) Eventually the air resistance will be
big enough to _______ the
skydiver’s weight. At this point
the forces are balanced so his
speed becomes ________ - this is
called TERMINAL VELOCITY
Terminal Velocity
Consider a skydiver:
4) When he opens his parachute the
air resistance suddenly ________,
causing him to start _____ ____.
5) Because he is slowing down his air
resistance will _______ again until
it balances his _________. The
skydiver has now reached a new,
lower ________ _______.

Weight vs. Mass
Earth’s Gravitational Field Strength is 10N/kg. In other
words, a 1kg mass is pulled downwards by a force of 10N.

Work done
When any object is moved around work will need to be
done on it to get it to move (obviously).
We can work out the amount of work done in moving an
object using the formula:
Work done = Force x distance moved
in J
in N
W
in m
F
D
Example questions
1. Mark pushes a book 5m along the table with a force of 5N.
He gets tired and decides to call it a day. How much work
did he do?
2. Annielyn lifts a laptop 2m into the air with a force of 10N.
How much work does she do?
3. Martin does 200J of work by pushing a wheelbarrow with a
force of 50N. How far did he push it?
4. Joseph cuddles his cat and lifts it 1.5m in the air. If he did
75J of work how much force did he use?
5. Nicholas drives his car 1000m. If the engine was producing
a driving force of 2000N how much work did the car do?
Kinetic energy
Any object that moves will have kinetic energy.
The amount of kinetic energy an object has can be found using
the formula:
Kinetic energy = ½ x mass x velocity squared
in J
in kg
KE =
½
in m/s
mv2
Example questions
1) Nicole drives her car at a speed of 30m/s. If the
combined mass of her and the car is 1000kg what is her
kinetic energy?
2) Shanie rides her bike at a speed of 10m/s. If the
combined mass of Shanie and her bike is 80kg what is her
kinetic energy?
3) Dan is running and has a kinetic energy of 750J. If his
mass is 60kg how fast is he running?
4) George is walking to town. If he has a kinetic energy of
150J and he’s walking at a pace of 2m/s what is his mass?
