Force & Momentum (OCR GCSE Physics A (Gateway Science Suite)): Flashcards

Causes acceleration

$p = mv$

$F = ma$

$a = \frac{v-u}{t}$

$F = \frac{m\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

Newtons (N)

kg m/s

Change in momentum

Bigger force

Reduce rate of change of momentum

Stretch to increase stopping time

Increase stopping time to reduce force
