    Study Notes

    Nature of Matter

    • Matter occupies space and has mass, existing in solid, liquid, and gas states.
    • Elements are the simplest form of matter, composed of atoms.
    • Atoms are composed of protons (positive charge), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negative charge) arranged around a dense nucleus.
    • The maximum number of electrons in each shell is 2n2, where n is the shell number.
    • Ions are atoms that have lost or gained electrons, becoming positively or negatively charged.
    • Isotopes are atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons.

    Chemical Compounds

    • 109 known elements combine to form compounds.
    • Compounds are made of identical molecules containing different atoms in fixed proportions.
    • Chemical bonds form when atoms combine, often by transferring electrons.

    • States of matter include solids, liquids, and gases.

    Topic 2: Statics

    • Forces cause changes in a body's motion; start, stop, accelerate, or decelerate.
    • Forces that cause no change are in equilibrium.
    • Levers are simple machines that increase mechanical advantage.
    • Types of levers include first-class (crowbar), second-class (wheelbarrow), and third-class (landing gear).

    Elements of Stress, Strain, and Elasticity

    • Stress is the force acting through a section of material, defined as force per unit area.
    • Strain is the deformation of the material as a result of stress.
    • Strain below the elastic limit is directly proportional to applied stress (Hooke's Law).
    • Types of stress include tension (resists pulling), compression (resists crushing), shear (adjacent layers sliding), and torsion (resists twisting).
    • Residual Stress occurs due to changes in temperature.
    • Aircraft riveting uses compressive forces.

    Pressure and Buoyancy

    • Pressure in fluids is determined by vertical height, gravity, and fluid density.
    • Pressure is independent of the fluid's volume or shape.
    • Density is mass per unit volume of a substance.
    • Specific gravity is the ratio of a substance's density to water's density.
    • Archimedes' principle states buoyant force equals the weight of fluid displaced.
    • If an object displaces more fluid than its weight, it floats.

    Topic 2.2 Kinetics

    • Atoms and molecules are constantly in motion (vibratory motion).
    • The degree of motion defines the physical state (internal kinetic energy as heat).
    • Liquids and gases are called fluids.
    • Speed vs Velocity: speed is distance per unit time, velocity is displacement per unit time. Velocity refers to the rate at which the position changes.
    • Acceleration is the rate of change in velocity (change in speed). Acceleration can be positive or negative (deceleration).

    Circular Motion

    • In circular motion, a force (centripetal force) must be continuously applied to maintain that circular motion.
    • Inertia is the resistance of a mass to changes in motion.
    • Newton's First Law states that a body will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by a net external force.
    • Newton's Second Law states that 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 states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

    Periodic Motion

    • Periodic motion refers to repeated motion; examples include vibration and simple harmonic motion (SHM).

    • Thermal energy is energy related to heat transfer.

    Heat Transfer

    • Conduction is heat transfer through physical contact.
    • Convection is heat transfer by bulk movement of fluids.
    • Heat transfer in a house, a kettle, or atmospheric circulation, are examples of convection.

    Heat Capacity

    • Heat capacity is the quantity of heat needed to raise the temperature of one unit mass by one degree.

    Types of Heat (Latent vs Sensible)

    • Latent heat is the heat required for a phase change (e.g., melting or boiling) without a change in temperature.
    • Sensible heat is the heat that causes a tangible temperature change

    Gas Laws

    • Boyle's Law (constant temperature) relates pressure and volume for a gas (P1V1=P2V2 or P=k/V)
    • Charles' Law (constant pressure) relates volume and temperature (V1/T1 = V2/T2 or V=kT)
    • The General gas law combines Boyle's and Charles'

    Thermal Energy

    • Heat energy can be electrical, mechanical, chemical or nuclear.
    • Heat is usually transferred from areas of high temperature to areas of low temperature.

    TOPIC 4: OPTICS (LIGHT)

    • Visible light (detectable by the human eye) is a form of electromagnetic radiation.
    • Speed of light is approximately 3 x 108 m/s in a vacuum.

    Reflection and Refraction of Light

    • Reflection occurs when light waves bounce off a surface. The angle of incidence equals the angle of reflection.
    • Refraction occurs when light waves bend as they pass from one medium to another. The angle of refraction depends on the density of the medium.
    • Dispersion is the separation of light into its component colours due to different wavelengths being refracted by different amounts.
