Study Notes

Density & Mass

A cube of ice measuring 2 cm on each side has a density of 0.92 g/cm³. The mass of the ice cube is 7.36 g.
A metal block has a volume of 500 cm³ and a mass of 8 kg The density of the metal is 16 g/cm³.
A liquid with a specific gravity of 0.8 has a density of 0.80 g/cm³.

Fluid Dynamics

Water flowing through a horizontal tube with an unequal area of cross-section, at the most narrow place: velocity of water is maximum and pressure minimum.
A hydraulic lift with a small piston of 2 cm diameter and a large piston of 10 cm diameter, a force of 100 N applied to the small piston results in 2500 N exerted by the large piston.
Gases are compressible fluids.
A tank containing water 1 meter high with a leak hole 20 cm from the bottom. The speed of water coming out of the hole is 4.00 m/s.
Pressure increases with the increase in the weight of an object.

Archimedes' Principle & Buoyancy

Archimedes' principle states: Buoyant force is the weight of the volume of water displaced by an immersed object.
An iceberg is submerged to 91.7% below the water if the density of ice is 917 kg/m^3 and the density of water is 100 kg/m^3.

Pressure

A scuba diver at a depth of 20 meters experiences an increase in pressure due to water of 2 atm.
In a U-shaped tube containing water and oil (specific gravity 0.8), if the water column height is 10 cm, the oil column height is 12.5 cm.
Atmospheric pressure is measured using a barometer.

Pascal's Principle & Bernoulli’s Principle

Pascal's principle states: When an external pressure is applied to a fluid, the pressure in the fluid increases equally throughout.
A boat floats in water because the boat is less dense than the water it displaces.
Bernoulli's principle states: As the velocity of a fluid increases, its pressure decreases.

Fluid Flow

Laminar flow is characterized by smooth, straight, and steady flow.
Torricelli's Theorem states: The speed of a fluid flowing out of an opening in a container is equal to the square root of twice the product of the acceleration due to gravity and the height of the fluid above the opening.

Wave Properties

An elastic spring stretched and released produces a longitudinal wave.
The amplitude of a sound wave determines its loudness.
Energy transmission by waves examples: light shining on a surface, heat transfer by convection, and sound vibrating through a medium.

Light & Optics

The bending of light as it passes from one medium to another of different optical density is called refraction.
Polarized light oscillates in a single plane.
The splitting of white light into its component colors is called dispersion.
A concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
The wavelength and frequency of light are inversely proportional.
For a telescope, the larger the diameter of the objective lens, the greater the resolving power.
Destructive interference occurs when two waves of equal amplitude and frequency cancel each other out.
The Doppler effect describes the change in the frequency of a wave as the source or the observer moves.
The inverse square law states: Illumination decreases as the square of the distance increases.

Lenses & Images

A convex lens is thicker at the center than at the edges.
An object of height 5 cm placed 25 cm in front of a bi-convex lens with a focal length of 10 cm produces an image 3.4 cm high.

Color

A purple cabbage is colored purple because it reflects only purple light.

Radiation

Radiation exposure can have both Stochastic and Deterministic effects
Stochastic effects of radiation exposure occur randomly and have a probability of occurrence. Examples include cancer and genetic mutations.
Deterministic effects are predictable and occur after a certain threshold dose. Examples include cataracts and skin burns.
Sensitive organs to radiation include bone marrow, liver, lungs, and kidneys.
RBE (Relative Biologic Effectiveness) measures the damage a particular type of radiation does to living tissue compared to X-rays.
There is no safe radiation dose.
Radiation protection principles include Time, Distance, and Shielding.

Atoms

An atom with an atomic number of 14 and a mass number of 28 has 14 neutrons (mass number - atomic number = number of neutrons).

Radioactive Decay

A radioactive material with a half-life of 10 days means that half of the material will decay in 10 days.
