Study Notes
Pendulum
- A pendulum's swing is caused by gravity.
- Time period (T) = total time / number of swings.
- Longer pendulums have slower swings.
Volume, Density, Mass, and Weight
- Volume is the space an object occupies.
- Density is mass per unit volume (Density = Mass / Volume).
- Mass is the amount of matter in an object (measured in kg).
- Weight is the force of gravity on a mass (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 is distance divided by time (Speed = Distance / Time).
- Velocity is speed with direction.
- Acceleration is the change in velocity per unit time (Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time).
Forces and Newton's Laws
- Newton's First Law: Objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
- Newton's Second Law: Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).
- Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Center of Mass and Stability
- The center of mass is the point where the weight of an object is balanced.
- Stability is improved with a wider base and a lower center of mass.
States of Equilibrium
- Stable equilibrium: Returns to original position.
- Unstable equilibrium: Moves away from original position.
- Neutral equilibrium: Stays in new position.
Hooke's Law
- Stretching a spring causes a force proportional to its extension (Force ∝ Extension).
- Formula: F = kx (k = spring constant, x = extension).
Turning Effect of Forces
- Moment is the turning effect of a force (Moment = Force × Perpendicular distance from pivot).
- Balanced if total clockwise moment equals total anticlockwise moment.
Momentum and Conservation of Momentum
- Momentum = mass × velocity.
- Conservation of momentum: Total momentum before a collision equals total momentum after a collision.
Work, Energy, and Power
- Work = force × distance (in the direction of the force).
- Energy is the capacity to do work.
- Power = work / time.
Energy
- Kinetic energy is the energy of motion (KE = ½mv²).
- Potential energy is the energy stored due to position (PE = mgh).
Pressure
- Pressure = force / area.
Pressure in Liquids
- Pressure increases with depth (P = hpg, where h = depth, p = density, g = gravity).
Pressure in Gases
- Boyle's Law: Pressure × Volume = constant (if temperature is constant).
Pressure in Solids
- Larger area results in lower pressure.
Thermal Physics
- Heat transfer occurs through conduction, convection, and radiation.
- Temperature is the average kinetic energy of particles.
Evaporation
- Liquid turns into gas (evaporation) at the surface.
- Evaporation speeds up with heat, wind, large surface area, and low humidity.
