Below are the 16 graphs to try to learn. Going across a row from L to R shows graphs drawn from the gradient of the previous graph. Therefore if you write the axes on for s-t, v-t and a-t you can work backwards and forwards to quickly picture the shape of the graph you require.\"16graphs\"<\/p>\n

Friction always acts to oppose motion. If the object is sliding down the slope then friction must act up the slope, but if the object is being pushed up the slope then friction acts down the slope.\"friction\"frictionThe component pushing into the slope (mg cos\u03b8) is balanced by the reaction force from the slope.<\/p>\n

Collisions Seatbelts, crumple zones, airbags, helmets etc are all designed to reduce the force on a person, by increasing the time of contact. In all cases the change in momentum or impulse remains the same as the vehicle\/ object still has to come to rest from its initial speed.\"lower<\/p>\n

Although we talk about the Big Bang, it is important to emphasise that the universe, ie space, is expanding. There are a number of characteristics that indicate it is an expansion and not the result of an explosion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Different bits fly off at different speeds<\/td>\nExpansion explains the large-scale symmetry we see in the distribution of galaxies<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Fast parts overtake slow parts<\/td>\nExpanding space explains the redshifts and the Hubble law<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Difficult to imagine a suitable mechanism to produce the range of velocities from 100 kms\u20131 to almost the speed of light<\/td>\nExpansion also explains redshifts and the Hubble law even if we are not at the centre of the universe<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
