Force and Resistance
Defines:
volume p
mass
centre of gravity
density as mass/volumeunits are kg/m

relative density
Explains that for homogeneous masses the centre of gravity lies at the centre of volume
Solves simple problems involving the above objectives
Measures density of liquids, using a hydrometer
Defines speed as distance travelled/time units are m/s or km/h
Calculates mean speeds, given time and distance
Defines acceleration (for motion in a straight line) as change of speed/time
Plots speedtime graphs for straightline motion
