Study Notes
Force and Its Types
- A force is a push or pull exerted on an object due to interaction with another object. It can cause stationary objects to move and moving objects to stop.
- Normal Force: The force a surface exerts on an object resting on it, perpendicular to the surface. It's equal and opposite to the force pressing down on the surface.
- Applied Force: A force exerted on an object to cause it to move or change shape. (e.g., pushing a cart, stretching a rope).
- Tension Force: A pulling force transmitted through a rope, string, or cable.
- Weight: The force of gravity on an object, calculated as mass multiplied by gravitational field strength (weight = mass x gravitational field strength). Standard gravitational field strength on Earth is 9.8 N/kg.
Units of Force
- Newton (N): The unit of force.
Resultant Force and Reaction Force
- Resultant Force: The overall force on an object when multiple forces are acting on it. Calculated by considering both the magnitude and direction of all the forces. A balanced system has a resultant force of zero.
- Reaction Force: For every action force, there's an equal and opposite reaction force. (e.g., pushing a skateboard will have an equal and opposite reaction on your hands).
Speed and Calculating Speed
- Speed: The rate at which an object covers distance.
- Units: Measured in meters per second (m/s).
- Calculation: Speed = distance / time
Physics Revision
- Equations that relate to physics:
- Weight = Mass x Gravitational Field Strength
Earthquake Waves (not relevant to force)
- Longitudinal Waves: Particle movement is parallel to energy motion (e.g., sound).
- Transverse Waves: Particle movement is perpendicular to energy motion.
- Surface Waves: Particle movement is circular.
Ultrasound and X-rays
- Ultrasound: Uses high-intensity sound waves to visualize internal body structures. Used in medical diagnosis.
- X-rays: High-energy radiation that passes through the body. Absorbed differently by different tissues, creating images used to diagnose bone fractures, scoliosis, and other medical issues.
Big Bang Theory
- Theory of the universe's origin: Outlines the universe's beginning with an explosion (big bang) that rapidly expanded and cooled.
- Evidence for the theory: Includes cosmic microwaves, redshift of distant galaxies, and composition of light elements.
