Study Notes
Physical Quantities and Measurements
- Space occupied by an object is referred to as Volume.
- Speed can be calculated by Distance / Time; example, traveling 150m in 1min results in a speed of 2.5 m/s.
- Area of a rectangle is calculated using Length x Width; for a paper of 1.5 m x 20 cm, the area equals 300 cm² or 0.3 m².
- Density measures mass per unit volume; density of alcohol 0.8 g/cm³ translates to 800 kg/m³ in SI units.
- In astronomy, distances between stars are measured in Parsecs, Astronomical Units, or Light years.
- Fundamental quantities in mechanics are Length, Mass, and Time.
- Derived units include measurements such as Metre³ and not basic units like Metre or Kelvin.
- Litre is not considered an SI unit, while Metre, Second, and Kilogram are SI units.
- To find the mass of a wooden block with a density of 0.8 g/cm³ and volume 60 cm³: Mass = Density x Volume = 48 g.
- MKS system represents units of Metre, Kilogram, and Second.
Unit Review
- Formula for Volume of a cube is s³, where 's' is the side length.
- Density (D) is calculated by the formula D = Mass/Volume.
- Density and volume computations can be practiced using object measurements.
- To measure the volume of an irregular object, water displacement method is used: difference in water levels before and after submerging gives the volume.
- Density is defined as mass per unit volume; SI unit is kg/m³.
- Volume of liquid in the container given dimensions can be calculated as Length x Width x Height.
- Converting g/cm³ to kg/m³ involves multiplying by 1000 for correct SI unit representation.
- Weight on different planets varies depending on gravitational pull; Weight = Mass x g.
Key Concepts
- Mass refers to the quantity of matter, while weight is the force of gravity acting on that mass.
- To convert 0.25 m to cm, multiply by 100; to convert 25 cm to km, divide by 100,000.
- Area of a square is calculated from the side length; for an area of 64 cm², the side is 8 cm.
- Area of circle is found using the formula πr²; for radius 7 m, area is approximately 154 m².
- To measure the volume of a cube, use s³; for side 6 cm, volume calculates to 216 cm³.
- Volume of a sphere can be calculated using the formula (4/3)πr³; for radius 5 cm, volume is 523.33 cm³.
Real-Life Applications
- Density plays a key role in objects floating or sinking; lower density substances float.
- Examples include swimming, buoyancy in boats, and hot air balloons, which depend on density differences.
- Hydrogen bubbles float due to lower density compared to soap water.
- Weight differences across planets can be explained by variations in gravitational acceleration.
Additional Points
- Objects with densities lower than that of a liquid will float, while those with higher densities will sink.
- Knowledge of densities helps predict behavior of materials in different environments, emphasizing the importance of understanding physical properties in science.
