    Study Notes

    Physics Revision: Force and Types

    • A force is a push or pull that causes an object to move or stop moving.
    • Types of forces include:
      • Normal force: The force exerted by a surface perpendicular to an object resting on it.
      • Applied force: A force used to move or deform an object.
      • Tension force: The force transmitted through a rope, string, or cable.

    Units of Force

    • Weight is calculated as mass multiplied by the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 N/kg on Earth).
    • Example: A 40 kg child on Earth weighs 392 N (40 kg × 9.8 N/kg).
    • Units for force are Newtons (N).

    Resultant Force and Reaction Force

    • Resultant force: The overall force on an object when multiple forces are acting.
    • Reaction force: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction force.
    • Example (skating, throwing ball).

    Speed

    • Speed is calculated by dividing distance by time.
    • Units for speed are measured in meters per second (m/s).

    Earthquake Waves

    • P-waves are longitudinal waves, faster than other types of waves. They can travel through solids and liquids.
    • S-waves are transverse waves, slower than P-waves. S-waves can only travel through solids.
    • Surface waves are the slowest, and are a combination of longitudinal and transverse waves. They only travel along the surface.

    Ultrasound and X-rays

    • Ultrasound uses sound waves to create images of internal body structures (e.g., organs, tissues)
    • X-rays are a type of radiation used for medical imaging. They pass through different parts of the body at different rates, creating images.

    Big Bang Theory

    • The Big Bang theory describes the origin and evolution of the universe.
    • Expansion from a singularity, continues to expand
    • Evidence includes: Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMB), redshift of distant galaxies, and the abundance of light elements in the universe.
