Study Notes

Electricity

  • Static electricity is the behavior of charges and charged bodies involving attraction and repulsion.
  • The electrostatic series ranks materials based on their ability to gain or lose electrons.
  • Dynamic electricity follows Ohm's Law: U = RI, where U is voltage, R is resistance, and I is current.
  • Electric circuits can be wired in series or parallel, with voltmeters connected in parallel and ammeters in series.
  • The relationship between power and energy is defined as P = U * I and E = P * Δt, where P is power, U is voltage, I is current, E is energy, and Δt is the change in time.
  • Electrical functions include conduction, insulation, and power supply.

Forces

  • Resultant force is the net force acting on an object.
  • Equilibrium of forces occurs when the net force is zero.
  • The principle of Bernoulli describes the behavior of fluids in motion.
  • Pascal's principle states that pressure applied to a fluid in a closed container is transmitted equally to every point of the fluid and the walls of the container.
  • Archimedes’ principle states that the buoyant force on an object immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the fluid that the object displaces.
  • Weight and mass are related but distinct concepts.

Energies

  • Energy resources are materials, which produce energy
  • Energy efficiency is the ratio of useful energy output to total energy input.
  • The law of conservation of energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.

Speed

  • Calculations involve speed, displacement, and time.

Technological Analysis

  • Guidance is the principle of directing the movement of an object
  • Liaison involves the connections/components of the design.
  • Degrees of freedom is the number of independent ways a body can move.
  • Movements refer to the motion of components of a design.
  • Functional analysis relates to how a technological object works.
