Study Notes

Physics

Definition: The branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy.
Key Concepts:
- Force: An interaction that changes the motion of an object (measured in Newtons).
- Mass: A measure of the amount of matter in an object (measured in kilograms).
- Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity of an object (measured in m/s²).
Laws of Motion:
1. Newton's First Law: An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by a net external force.
2. Newton's Second Law: F = ma (the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration).
3. Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Energy:
- Kinetic Energy: Energy possessed by an object due to its motion; calculated as KE = 1/2 mv².
- Potential Energy: Energy stored in an object due to its position; calculated as PE = mgh (where g is the acceleration due to gravity).
Thermodynamics:
- First Law: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed.
- Second Law: The total entropy of an isolated system can never decrease over time.
Waves:
- Types: Mechanical (require a medium) and Electromagnetic (do not require a medium).
- Properties: Wavelength, frequency, amplitude, speed.
Electromagnetism:
- Relationship between electricity and magnetism: Moving electric charges produce magnetic fields.
- Maxwell’s Equations: Set of four fundamental equations that describe how electric and magnetic fields interact.
Quantum Mechanics:
- Wave-Particle Duality: Particles like electrons exhibit properties of both particles and waves.
- Uncertainty Principle: It is impossible to simultaneously know both the position and momentum of a particle with absolute precision.
Relativity:
- Special Relativity: Formulated by Einstein; states that the laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion and introduces the concept that the speed of light is constant.
- General Relativity: Proposes that gravity is a curvature of spacetime caused by mass.
Applications of Physics:
- Engineering: Application of physical principles in the design and construction of structures, machines, and systems.
- Technology: Development of devices like lasers, semiconductors, and telecommunications based on physical principles.

Physics

Definition: The study of matter and energy, and how they interact.
Key Concepts:
Force
- An interaction that changes an object's motion.
- Measured in Newtons (N).
Mass
- The amount of matter in an object.
- Measured in kilograms (kg).
Acceleration
- The rate of change of an object's velocity.
- Measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
Laws of Motion
- Newton's First Law: Objects at rest stay at rest, and objects in motion stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force.
- Newton's Second Law: Force (F) equals mass (m) times acceleration (a) (F = ma).
- Newton's Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Energy
- Kinetic Energy: Energy of motion; calculated as KE = 1/2 mv², where m is mass and v is velocity.
- Potential Energy: Stored energy due to position; calculated as PE = mgh, where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is height.
Thermodynamics
- First Law: Energy can't be created or destroyed, only transformed.
- Second Law: The total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time.
Waves
- Types: Mechanical waves require a medium to travel (like sound); electromagnetic waves do not (like light).
- Properties: Wavelength (distance between crests), frequency (waves per second), amplitude (height of wave), and speed.
Electromagnetism
- Moving electric charges produce magnetic fields.
- Maxwell's Equations: Four fundamental equations describing the interaction of electric and magnetic fields.
Quantum Mechanics
- Wave-Particle Duality: Particles like electrons can behave as both particles and waves.
- Uncertainty Principle: It's impossible to know both the exact position and momentum of a particle at the same time.
Relativity
- Special Relativity: The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion, and the speed of light is constant.
- General Relativity: Gravity is a curvature in spacetime caused by mass.
Applications of Physics
- Engineering: Applying physics principles to design and build structures, machines, and systems.
- Technology: Developing devices like lasers, semiconductors, and telecommunications systems.
