    Study Notes

    Atomic Structure

    • Protons: positively charged particles, found in the nucleus, determine the element of an atom
    • Neutrons: no charge, found in the nucleus, contribute to the mass of an atom
    • Electrons: negatively charged particles, orbit the nucleus, determine the chemical properties of an atom
    • Electron shells: energy levels that electrons occupy, can hold a specific number of electrons
    • Valence electrons: electrons in the outermost energy level, participate in chemical reactions

    Seismology

    • Seismology: study of earthquakes and seismic waves
    • Seismic waves: waves generated by earthquakes, can be P-waves (primary) or S-waves (shear)
    • P-waves: compressional waves, travel through solid, liquid, and gas
    • S-waves: shear waves, travel only through solid objects
    • Epicenter: point on the Earth's surface directly above the location of an earthquake

    Kinematics

    • Kinematics: study of motion without considering forces
    • Displacement: change in position of an object, can be positive or negative
    • Velocity: rate of change of displacement, can be positive or negative
    • Acceleration: rate of change of velocity, can be positive or negative
    • Types of motion: translational, rotational, and oscillatory

    Electricity

    • Electric charge: fundamental property of matter, can be positive or negative
    • Coulomb's law: describes the force between two charged particles
    • Electric field: region around a charged particle where the force can be detected
    • Electric potential: potential energy per unit charge, measured in volts

    Circuit Analysis

    • Electric circuit: path through which electric current flows
    • Series circuit: components connected one after the other
    • Parallel circuit: components connected between the same two points
    • Ohm's law: relates voltage, current, and resistance (V = IR)
    • Kirchhoff's laws: rules for analyzing circuits, including the junction rule and the loop rule

    Natural Disasters

    • Types of natural disasters: earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, wildfires
    • Causes of natural disasters: geological, meteorological, and astronomical phenomena
    • Effects of natural disasters: loss of life, damage to infrastructure, environmental damage
    • Preparation and response: emergency planning, evacuation, search and rescue, relief efforts

    Thermodynamics

    • Thermodynamics: study of heat, temperature, and energy
    • Laws of thermodynamics: zeroth, first, second, and third laws
    • Internal energy: total energy of a system, including kinetic energy, potential energy, and potential energy associated with molecular interactions
    • Entropy: measure of disorder or randomness in a system

    3 Laws of Motion

    • First law (inertia): an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move, unless acted upon by an external force
    • Second law (force and acceleration): force is equal to the mass of an object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma)
    • Third law (action and reaction): for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
