P5: Physics
  1. Definitions:
    1. gravitational field strength: 10N
      1. centrapetal force: a force that keeps something in circular motion
        1. weight: Force of gravity on an object
          1. mass: the fixed number of particles in an object
            1. vector has size and direction, scalar just has size
              1. interference
                1. 2 crests or troughs meet, sound gets louder. Constructive interference
                  1. when a crest and trough meet they cancel each other out. Destructive interference
                2. Equations
                  1. Equations of motion: 1.V=U+AT 2.S= V+U/2 T 3.S=UT+0.5AT 4.V2=U2+2AS SUVAT

                          1. refractive index= speed of light in a vacuum/speed of light in a medium
                            1. force= change in momentum/time taken
                              1. Momentum= mass x velocity
