Study Notes
Pendulum
- A pendulum's swing is caused by gravity.
- Time Period (T) = Total time / Number of swings.
- Longer pendulums have a slower swing time.
Volume, Density, Mass, and Weight
- Volume is the space an object occupies (e.g., m³ or cm³).
- Density = Mass / Volume.
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object (kg).
- Weight = Mass × Gravity (9.8 m/s²).
Vectors and Scalars
- Vectors have both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, force).
- Scalars only have magnitude (e.g., speed, mass).
Motion and Acceleration
- Speed = Distance / Time.
- Velocity is speed with a specific direction.
- Acceleration = (Final Velocity – Initial Velocity) / Time.
Forces and Newton's Laws
- 1st Law: Objects stay at rest or move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force.
- 2nd Law: Force = Mass × Acceleration (F = ma).
- 3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Center of Mass and Stability
- Center of Mass: The point where the weight of an object is balanced.
- Stability is increased with a wider base and a lower center of mass.
States of Equilibrium
- Stable: Returns to its original position after a disturbance.
- Unstable: Moves further away from its original position after a disturbance.
- Neutral: Stays in its new position after a disturbance.
Hooke's Law
- Force on a spring is directly proportional to its extension.
- F = kx (k = spring constant, x = extension).
Turning Effect of Forces
- Moment = Force × Perpendicular distance from pivot.
- For equilibrium, total clockwise moments = total anticlockwise moments.
Momentum and Conservation of Momentum
- Momentum = Mass × Velocity.
- Total momentum before a collision equals total momentum after the collision.
Work, Energy, and Power
- Work = Force × Distance (in the direction of force).
- Energy is the ability to do work.
- Power = Work / Time.
Energy
- Kinetic Energy (KE) = ½ × Mass × Velocity².
- Potential Energy (PE) = Mass × Gravity × Height.
Pressure
- Pressure = Force / Area.
Pressure in Liquids
- Pressure increases with depth.
- Pressure = h × p × g (h = depth, p = density, g = acceleration due to gravity).
Pressure in Gases
- Boyle's Law: Pressure × Volume = constant (if temperature is constant).
Pressure in Solids
- Larger area = lower pressure.
Thermal Physics
- Heat transfer mechanisms: conduction, convection, radiation.
- Temperature is related to the average kinetic energy of particles.
Evaporation
- Liquid to gas phase transition (occurs at the surface).
- Evaporation is faster with higher heat, wind, larger surface areas, and lower humidity.
