    Study Notes

    Mechanics

    • Kinetic energy is associated with motion.
    • Acceleration due to gravity is 9.81 m/s².
    • An inelastic collision occurs when two objects collide and stick together.

    Thermodynamics

    • Adiabatic process is when a gas expands without heat entering or leaving the system.
    • Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 kg of a substance by 1°C.
    • Vaporization is the phase change from a liquid to a gas at constant temperature and pressure.

    Optics

    • Violet light has the shortest wavelength in the visible spectrum.
    • Refraction is the phenomenon of light bending as it passes from one medium to another.
    • Convex lens has a positive focal length.

    Wave Theory

    • Amplitude of a wave is related to its energy.
    • The speed of a wave is calculated by multiplying the frequency by the wavelength.
    • Doppler effect causes frequency to increase when the sound source moves toward an observer.

    Electricity

    • A resistor in an electrical circuit resists the flow of current.
    • If the voltage across a circuit is doubled, the current doubles assuming resistance is constant.
    • Electrical resistance is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of the conductor.
