    Study Notes

    Mechanics

    • Newton's Laws of Motion:

      • 1st Law: An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force.
      • 2nd Law: Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).
      • 3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
    • Kinematics:

      • Describes motion using equations of motion (s = ut + 1/2at²).
      • Important concepts: velocity, acceleration, displacement.
    • Forces:

      • Types: gravitational, frictional, tension, normal, and applied forces.
      • Resultant force: The vector sum of all forces acting on an object.
    • Energy:

      • Kinetic Energy (KE) = 1/2 mv².
      • Potential Energy (PE) = mgh (gravitational).
      • Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.

    Electromagnetism

    • Electric Charge:

      • Fundamental property of matter; can be positive or negative.
      • Like charges repel; opposite charges attract.
    • Ohm's Law:

      • Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R).
      • Relates voltage, current, and resistance in a circuit.
    • Magnetic Fields:

      • Created by moving charges or magnets.
      • Direction of magnetic field lines indicates the direction of force on a positive charge.
    • Electromagnetic Induction:

      • Phenomenon where a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a conductor.

    Wave Phenomena

    • Wave Characteristics:

      • Wavelength (λ), frequency (f), amplitude, and speed (v = fλ).
      • Types: longitudinal (sound) and transverse (light) waves.
    • Interference and Diffraction:

      • Constructive interference: waves combine to create larger amplitude.
      • Destructive interference: waves cancel each other out.
    • Doppler Effect:

      • Change in frequency or wavelength due to the relative motion between the source and observer.

    Thermodynamics

    • Laws of Thermodynamics:

      • 1st Law: Energy cannot be created or destroyed (conservation of energy).
      • 2nd Law: Entropy of an isolated system always increases; heat cannot spontaneously flow from cold to hot.
    • Thermal Properties of Matter:

      • Temperature, heat transfer methods: conduction, convection, and radiation.
      • Specific heat capacity: amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a unit mass by one degree Celsius.

    Fluid Dynamics

    • Fluid Properties:

      • Density (mass per unit volume) and viscosity (resistance to flow).
    • Hydrostatic Pressure:

      • Pressure in a fluid at rest: P = ρgh (where ρ is density, g is acceleration due to gravity, h is height).
    • Bernoulli’s Principle:

      • In a flowing fluid, an increase in velocity occurs simultaneously with a decrease in pressure or potential energy.
    • Continuity Equation:

      • A1V1 = A2V2; describes the conservation of mass in fluid flow, where A is cross-sectional area and V is fluid velocity.

    Mechanics

    • Newton's 1st Law: An object remains in its current state of motion unless influenced by an external force.
    • Newton's 2nd Law: Force (F) is the product of mass (m) and acceleration (a) expressed as F = ma.
    • Newton's 3rd Law: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction, highlighting the reciprocal nature of forces.
    • Kinematics revolves around motion analysis using equations, notably s = ut + 1/2at².
    • Key concepts in kinematics include velocity (speed with direction), acceleration (change in velocity), and displacement (change in position).
    • Forces categorized as gravitational, frictional, tension, normal, and applied affect motion.
    • Resultant force is the vector sum of all individual forces acting on an object, determining overall motion.
    • Kinetic Energy (KE) is given by KE = 1/2 mv²; relates directly to mass and velocity.
    • Potential Energy (PE) is determined by the formula PE = mgh, where h is height above a reference point.
    • Conservation of Energy principle states energy cannot be created or destroyed but can only be transformed from one form to another.

    Electromagnetism

    • Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter; can be either positive or negative.
    • Like charges repel one another while opposite charges attract, influencing interactions in circuits and materials.
    • Ohm's Law describes the relationship among voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) with the formula V = IR.
    • Magnetic fields arise from moving charges or permanent magnets, dictating the directional force on charged particles.
    • Electromagnetic induction occurs when a changing magnetic field generates an electric current in a conductor, essential in transformers and generators.

    Wave Phenomena

    • Wave characteristics include wavelength (λ), frequency (f), amplitude, and wave speed, described by the equation v = fλ.
    • Two main types of waves: longitudinal (e.g., sound) and transverse (e.g., light).
    • Interference occurs when two waves meet, resulting in constructive interference (amplitudes add) or destructive interference (amplitudes cancel).
    • Doppler Effect explains how frequency or wavelength changes due to the relative motion between a wave source and an observer.

    Thermodynamics

    • 1st Law of Thermodynamics emphasizes energy conservation; energy can change forms but cannot be created or destroyed.
    • 2nd Law of Thermodynamics states that the entropy (disorder) of an isolated system will never decrease; heat flow is unidirectional from hot to cold.
    • Thermal properties include temperature and methods of heat transfer: conduction (direct contact), convection (fluid movement), and radiation (electromagnetic waves).
    • Specific heat capacity quantifies the heat needed to elevate the temperature of a unit mass by one degree Celsius.

    Fluid Dynamics

    • Fluid properties encompass density (mass per unit volume) and viscosity (resistance to flow), critical in understanding fluid behavior.
    • Hydrostatic pressure in a stagnant fluid can be calculated with P = ρgh, where ρ is fluid density, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height.
    • Bernoulli’s Principle states that within a flowing fluid, an increase in velocity leads to a corresponding decrease in pressure or potential energy.
    • The Continuity Equation, represented as A1V1 = A2V2, conveys the conservation of mass principle in fluid dynamics, asserting that the product of cross-sectional area (A) and fluid velocity (V) remains constant.
