    Study Notes

    Projectile Motion

    • Range is the maximum horizontal distance a projectile can travel.

    Density

    • Relative density is the ratio of the density of a substance to the density of water.

    Forces

    • Restoring force is a force that tends to restore a body from its displacement to its equilibrium position.
    • Rolling friction is the type of friction occurring when one surface rotates as it moves over another without sliding or slipping at the point or area of contact.

    Scalars and Vectors

    • Scalar quantities are physical quantities that can be described completely by their magnitude and appropriate units.
    • A dimensionless vector with a magnitude of 1 refers to a unit vector.

    Thermodynamics

    • The second law of thermodynamics limits the direction of spontaneous processes, such as heat transfer from a hotter body to a colder body.
    • The zeroth law of thermodynamics states that if two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, then they are also in thermal equilibrium with each other.

    Measurement

    • The amount of heat needed to change the temperature of a unit mass of a substance by one degree is known as specific heat capacity.
    • The effectiveness of a force in rotating a body on which it acts is known as torque.

    Gravity

    • The measure of the force of gravity exerted by Earth on a body is known as weight.

    Motion

    • The curved path of a projectile is known as a trajectory.
    • The horizontal displacement of a projectile is known as its range.
    • A disturbance propagating in a medium or in vacuum, carrying energy with it, is known as a wave.

    Other

    • The type of friction preventing relative motion between surfaces is known as static friction.
    • The constant velocity a free falling object has when the drag force equals the weight of the object, stopping the object from accelerating, is known as terminal velocity.
    • The distance from an axis of rotation where the mass of a body may be assumed to be concentrated without altering the moment of inertia of the body about that axis is known as the radius of gyration.
    • A quantitative measure of errors from multiple measurements of a physical quantity is known as the standard error.
