Study Notes
Newton’s First and Second Law of Motion
- Isaac Newton, born December 25, 1642, and died March 20, 1727, is known as the Father of Modern Physics.
- Newton's three laws of motion explain the relationship between forces and motion.
- Balanced Forces: Equal in magnitude and opposite in direction; the object remains at rest.
- Unbalanced Forces: Unequal forces that cause motion in the direction of the larger force.
- First Law (Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues in motion at constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
- Second Law (Acceleration): Acceleration is produced when a constant force acts on an object; F = ma (force equals mass times acceleration).
- Units: Newton is the unit of force; 1 N = 1 kg·m/s².
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
- Third Law (Action-Reaction): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction; forces exist in pairs.
- Formula: F1 = F2, indicating that forces exerted by interacting bodies are equal.
Sound Waves
- Speed of sound in dry air at 0°C is 331 m/s (1,234 kph).
- Speed increases by 0.6 m/s for each 1°C increase in temperature.
- Reflection: Returning of waves upon hitting a barrier (echo).
Hierarchy of Colors and Energy of Visible Light
- Light is a form of energy that travels in waves and appears white but consists of multiple colors.
- Dispersion: Occurs when white light passes through a prism, separating it into red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet (ROYGBIV).
- Violet has the highest frequency and energy; red has the lowest.
- Refraction: Bending of light when it passes from one medium to another.
Heat and Temperature
- Heat: Energy transferred due to a temperature difference, moving from hot to cold objects.
- The heat formula is q = mcΔT, where q is heat, m is mass, c is specific heat, and ΔT is change in temperature.
- Temperature: Measure of energy in an object based on particle motion; normal body temperature is 37°C.
- Thermal Expansion: Increase in temperature causes particles to spread, leading to expansion.
Electricity
- Electricity involves the movement of electric charges (electrons) through conductors, such as copper, steel, and aluminum.
- Current (I): Measured in amperes (A), representing the flow of electric charges.
- A series circuit has one loop; if one load fails, all loads will not function.
- A parallel circuit has multiple loops, allowing all loads to operate independently.
Electrical Safety Devices
- Electrical Hazard: Risk of injury from electrical contact; current, not voltage, causes damage.
- Arc Flash: Dangerous situation where electric current travels through the air.
- Types of Hazards: Include faulty wiring, short circuits, and grounded circuits.
- Safety Devices:
- Circuit Breaker: Shuts down circuits during overloads.
- Fuse: Melts to stop current flow when exceeded.
- Automatic Voltage Regulator: Maintains voltage levels.
- Earthing: Connects appliance casings to the ground for safety.
- Double Insulation: Prevents electric shock for appliances without needing earthing.
