Study Notes
Physics Study Notes - General
- Physics is the study of matter, energy, and their interactions. It encompasses a broad range of phenomena, from the smallest particles to the largest structures in the universe.
Physics Study Notes - Concepts and Formulas
- Motion:
- Motion involves a change in position of an object over time, relative to a reference point.
- Distance is the total length of the path traveled.
- Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions.
- Speed and Velocity:
- Speed is the rate at which an object changes its position. It's a scalar quantity.
- Velocity is the rate at which an object changes its position in a particular direction. It's a vector quantity.
- Acceleration:
- Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It measures how quickly velocity changes.
- Force:
- A force is a push or pull that can change the state of motion of an object or change its shape.
- Balanced forces result in no change in motion.
- Unbalanced forces result in acceleration.
- Newton's Laws of Motion:
- Newton's first law: An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- Newton's second law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. (F=ma)
- Newton's third law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Momentum:
- Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity (p = mv). It's a vector quantity.
- The law of conservation of momentum states that the total momentum of a system remains constant if no external forces are acting on it.
Physics Study Notes - Graphs
- Graphs are used to visualize relationships between physical quantities.
- Distance-time graphs show the relationship between distance and time.
- Velocity-time graphs show the relationship between velocity and time.
- Graphs can help determine the speed, velocity, and acceleration of moving objects.
