force felt= change in momentum/time
If the time taken for momentum to change is increased, the overall force felt is decreased.
Crumple zones in cars increase the time it takes for the cars momentum to reach zero, meaning passengers feel less of the force. Air bags do the same thing; increasing the time till momentum of a body reaches zero reduces the force felt.
To understand if you jump with you knees locked you can feel more of the force. If when you hit the ground you bend your knees the landing is softer as you feel less force. This happens because when you finish by bending your knees you take more time to reach zero momentum therefore reducing the force felt.
why are your spec points different to mine?
ReplyDeleteIt could be because you are on a different course? But its probably because this is for the 2013 course.
Deleteit's 2016 now and the points are pretty much the same
Delete2018, still the same
Delete2019 still the same
Deleteits not the same for 2019 this point should be different
DeleteIt is the same for 2019 it's just called 1.26P instead
DeleteStill basically the same and still useful
Delete2022! ITS ALL THE SAME GUYS. It's not gonna change.
DeleteHey, this is very useful but think you should say 'resultant force' rather than 'force felt'
ReplyDeletewho is this deejsify mug, questioning one of my main sources of revision

DeleteOur physics teacher spent 30 minutes explaining so many different examples in loads of detail for this sort of moment stuff.
ReplyDeleteYour site is so much simpler and easy to understand, thank you so much!!!
this actually simplified it so much, ur an actual legend u kno that
ReplyDeleteif i revise completely from these notes will i get an A*.
ReplyDeletethats what I'm hoping to do :)
ReplyDeleteplease update specification numbers as this site is currently outdated and very hard to use for the current exams
