    Study Notes

    Inertia and Motion

    • Inertia is the tendency of objects to resist changes in their motion.
    • Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
    • Net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object.
    • Friction is the resistance that one surface or object encounters when moving over another.

    Laws of Motion

    • 1st Law of Motion (Inertia): an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion, unless acted upon by an external net force.
    • 2nd Law of Motion (Acceleration): the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to its mass.
    • 3rd Law of Motion (Interaction): when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

    Physical and Chemical Changes

    • Physical change: a change in appearance of matter without changing its chemical composition (e.g., freezing: change from liquid to solid).
    • Chemical change: a change in matter that forms a new substance.

    Energy and Speed

    • Types of energy: kinetic energy (stored when an object is in motion) and potential energy (stored when an object is at rest).
    • Kinetic energy is affected by mass and velocity.
    • Speed of sound in air: 346 m/s at a certain temperature, decreasing with decreasing temperature.
    • Speed of sound varies between cold and hot places, traveling faster in hot places and slower in cold places.

    Electricity and Circuits

    • Series circuit: a type of circuit that has two or more loads, but current flows through a single conducting loop.
    • Parallel circuit: a type of circuit that has two or more paths for current to flow through.

    Biology and Earth Sciences

    • Small intestine: has the most important role in nutrient absorption.
    • Kidney: organ responsible for excretion, where nitrogenous and metabolic wastes are expelled from the body.
    • Mitosis: type of cell division where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
    • Meiosis: type of cell division where a single cell divides into four different daughter cells.
    • Earthquake: a sudden shaking of the ground.
    • Normal fault: the crust is being pulled apart, caused by tension stress.

    Weather and Storms

    • Typhoon: an intense circular storm that originates over warm tropical oceans.
    • North West: the direction of typhoon in the Philippines.
    • PAR (Philippine Area of Responsibility): the area monitored by meteorologists who study weather disturbances.
    • Anemometer: an instrument used to measure wind speed.
    • Eye: part of the typhoon with the lowest air pressure.
    • Eyewall: part of the typhoon with extreme air pressure.
