Study Notes
- Archimedes' principle states that an object in a fluid displaces a volume of fluid equal to its own volume.
- Pascal's Law: Pressure applied to a confined fluid is exerted equally at right angles throughout the fluid.
- Newton's 1st Law (Law of Inertia): An object remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
- Newton's 2nd Law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force applied and inversely proportional to its mass.
- Newton's 3rd Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- Hooke's Law: Within the elastic limit, the strain of a material is proportional to the applied stress.
- Law of Conservation of Energy: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
- Bernoulli's Theorem: Pressure decreases as flow speed increases (Venturi effect).
- Boyle's Law: At constant temperature, the pressure of a gas increases as its volume decreases, and vice versa.
- Charles's Law: At constant pressure, the volume of a gas varies directly with its temperature.
- 1st Law of Thermodynamics: Heat energy is conserved; it can only change forms.
- 2nd Law of Thermodynamics: Heat flows spontaneously from a warmer body to a cooler body, but not the reverse.
