Study Notes
Measurement & Units
- Measurement is determining something's size, quantity, or extent by comparison with a standard unit.
- Units are standardized quantities for measurements.
- SI Units (International System of Units):
- Length: meter (m)
- Mass: kilogram (kg)
- Time: second (s)
- Temperature: kelvin (K)
- Amount of substance: mole (mol)
- Electric current: ampere (A)
- Luminous intensity: candela (cd)
- Other units include liters (L), pounds (lb), miles (mi).
- Derived units are combinations of base units (e.g., m/s, J, N).
- Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value.
- Precision is how consistent or repeatable the measurements are.
Volume
- Volume is the space occupied by a substance or object.
- Units of volume include cubic meters (m³), liters (L), milliliters (mL), and cubic centimeters (cm³).
- Formulas for volume:
- Cube: V = a³
- Rectangular prism: V = l × w × h
- Cylinder: V = πr²h
- Sphere: V = (4/3)πr³
Density
- Density is mass per unit volume.
- Formula: Density = Mass/Volume
- Unit: kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m³).
- Density affects whether objects float or sink in fluids.
Speed and Acceleration
- Speed is distance traveled per unit time.
- Formula: Speed = Distance/Time
- Units: m/s, km/h.
- Average speed is total distance divided by total time.
- Instantaneous speed is speed at a specific moment.
- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time.
- Formula: Acceleration = Change in velocity/Time
- Units: m/s².
- Acceleration can be positive (speeding up) or negative (slowing down).
Electricity
- Charge is a fundamental property of matter, measured in coulombs (C).
- Current (I) is the flow of electric charge, measured in amperes (A).
- Voltage (V) is electric potential difference, measured in volts (V).
- Resistance (R) is opposition to current flow, measured in ohms (Ω).
- Ohm's Law: V = I × R
- Power (P) is the rate at which energy is used or supplied, calculated as P = V × I. Unit: watt (W).
- Energy consumption is power multiplied by time, calculated as Energy = P × t. Unit: kilowatt-hour (kWh).
Electronics
- Electronic components include resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, transistors, and integrated circuits (ICs).
- Resistors limit current flow.
- Capacitors store electrical energy.
- Inductors store energy in magnetic fields.
- Diodes allow current flow in one direction.
- Transistors act as switches or amplifiers.
- Integrated circuits (ICs) are miniaturized electronic circuits.
- Circuits can be series (components connected end-to-end) or parallel (components connected across same voltage).
Cycles on Earth
- Water Cycle: Evaporation, condensation, precipitation, runoff.
- Carbon Cycle: Photosynthesis, respiration, combustion, decomposition.
- Nitrogen Cycle: Nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, denitrification.
- Rock Cycle: Igneous formation, sedimentation, metamorphism.
Energy Sources
- Renewable energy sources include solar, wind, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass.
- Non-renewable sources are fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas) and nuclear energy.
- Alternative energy sources include hydrogen fuel cells and tidal energy.
- Energy conversion involves changing one form of energy to another (e.g., kinetic to electrical).
