Physics
- Newton's Laws of Motion describe how objects move in response to forces.
- Conservation Laws state that certain quantities remain constant in a closed system, such as energy and momentum.
- Dynamics deals with the causes of motion, while kinematics describes motion without considering its causes.
- Thermodynamics studies heat and its relation to other forms of energy, including the Laws of Thermodynamics that govern energy transfer and transformation.
Mechanics
- Motion includes displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
- Forces cause changes in motion, and can be categorized as contact or non-contact.
- Energy is the capacity to do work, and can exist in various forms, including kinetic, potential, and thermal energy.
Electricity and Magnetism
- Ohm's Law relates voltage, current, and resistance in an electrical circuit.
- Circuits are pathways for electrical current, and can be series, parallel, or a combination of both.
- Electromagnetic fields are created by moving electric charges and exert forces on other charges.
Waves and Optics
- Waves are disturbances that transfer energy without transferring matter.
- Sound is a mechanical wave that travels through a medium.
- Light is an electromagnetic wave that can travel through a vacuum and exhibits wave-particle duality.
Modern Physics
- Quantum Mechanics deals with the behavior of matter at the atomic and subatomic level.
- Relativity addresses the relationship between space, time, and gravity, including special and general relativity.
Chemistry
Atomic Structure
- Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter, composed of protons, neutrons, and electrons.
- Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.
- Ions are atoms or molecules that have gained or lost electrons, carrying a net electrical charge.
Chemical Bonding
- Ionic bonds form when atoms transfer electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration.
- Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons to achieve a stable octet configuration.
- Metallic bonds occur in metals, where electrons form a delocalized "sea" around the positively charged metal ions.
Reactions
- Synthesis reactions combine reactants to form a single product.
- Decomposition reactions break down a reactant into smaller products.
- Single displacement reactions involve one element replacing another in a compound.
- Double displacement reactions involve the exchange of ions between two reactants.
- Balancing chemical equations ensures that the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
- Rate of reaction is influenced by factors like temperature, concentration, surface area, and catalysts.
States of Matter
- Solids have a fixed shape and volume, with molecules closely packed together.
- Liquids have a fixed volume but can change shape, with molecules less tightly packed.
- Gases have no fixed shape or volume, with molecules far apart and moving freely.
- Phase transitions involve changes in the state of matter, including melting, freezing, boiling, and condensation.
Math
Arithmetic
- Basic operations include addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Fractions represent parts of a whole, while decimals represent parts of a whole using a base-ten system.
- Percentages represent a portion of a whole using a hundredth as a base.
Algebra
- Variables represent unknown quantities, while expressions combine variables, numbers, and operations.
- Solving equations and inequalities involves finding the values of variables that satisfy a given relationship.
- Functions represent relationships between input and output values, and can be graphed to visualize these relationships.
Geometry
- Basic shapes include triangles, circles, and rectangles.
- Area measures the amount of surface enclosed by a shape, while perimeter measures the total length of its boundary.
- Volume measures the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional object.
- Theorems are proven statements about geometric relationships.
Calculus
- Limits represent the behavior of a function as its input approaches a specific value.
- Derivatives measure the rate of change of a function.
- Integrals calculate the area under a curve.
- Applications of calculus include modeling motion, solving problems related to area, and optimizing functions.
Statistics and Probability
- Measures of central tendency describe the typical value in a dataset, including mean, median, and mode.
- Basic probability concepts include events, independence, combinations, and permutations.
- Distributions model the probability of different outcomes, including normal, binomial, and Poisson distributions.
