Study Notes
Physical Sciences
-
Matter and its Properties:
- Matter can exist in three states: solid, liquid, and gas
- Characteristics of matter: mass, volume, density, and buoyancy
- Density: mass per unit volume (density = mass / volume)
-
Energy and its Forms:
- Types of energy: kinetic, potential, thermal, electrical, and chemical
- Energy transformations: conversion from one form to another
- Law of Conservation of Energy: energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted
Chemical Reactions
-
Types of Chemical Reactions:
- Combination reaction: two or more substances combine to form a new substance
- Decomposition reaction: a single substance breaks down into two or more substances
- Displacement reaction: one element displaces another element from a compound
- Neutralization reaction: acid and base react to form salt and water
-
Chemical Equation:
- Representation of a chemical reaction using symbols and formulas
- Reactants: substances that react to form products
- Products: substances formed as a result of the reaction
-
Chemical Reaction Rates:
- Factors affecting reaction rates: concentration, temperature, surface area, and catalysts
Cell Biology
-
Cell Structure:
- Cell membrane: semi-permeable membrane that surrounds the cell
- Cytoplasm: jelly-like substance inside the cell membrane
- Nucleus: control center of the cell where DNA is stored
- Mitochondria: powerhouses of the cell where energy is produced
-
Cell Functions:
- Photosynthesis: process by which plants produce energy from sunlight
- Respiration: process by which cells produce energy from glucose
- Cell division: process by which cells reproduce and grow
Forces and Motion
-
Types of Forces:
- Contact forces: push or pull forces that act through physical contact
- Non-contact forces: forces that act without physical contact (e.g. gravity, magnetism)
-
Newton's Laws of Motion:
- First law: an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force
- Second law: force is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma)
- Third law: every action has an equal and opposite reaction
-
Motion:
- Types of motion: linear, circular, and rotational motion
- Distance and displacement: distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the shortest distance between two points
