Resource summary
P5: Physics
Definitions:
gravitational field strength: 10N
centrapetal force: a force that keeps something in circular motion
weight: Force of gravity on an object
mass: the fixed number of particles in an object
vector has size and direction, scalar just has size
interference
2 crests or troughs meet, sound gets louder. Constructive interference
when a crest and trough meet they cancel each other out. Destructive interference
Equations
Equations of motion: 1.V=U+AT 2.S= V+U/2 T 3.S=UT+0.5AT 4.V2=U2+2AS SUVAT
SOH CAH TOA
Adding velocity= Va+Vb= final velocity
magnification= image size/object size
refractive index= speed of light in a vacuum/speed of light in a medium
force= change in momentum/time taken
Momentum= mass x velocity
average speed= total distance/total time taken
weight=mass x gravitational field
Satelities
natural: moon
artificial: satalitie
low polar orbit: travel quickly
weather forecasting
imaging of earth's surface
military (spying)
geostationary orbit: takes 24 hours to complete orbit, have a fixed position on earth,orbit high
communication, T.V
weather forecasting
comets: elliptical orbit
speeds up when closer to the sun
slows down further away from the sun
Projectiles
travel in a curved path due to gravity
trajectory, parabolic
Newton's 3 law: "every action has an equal and opposite reaction"
bullet fired out from gun, recoil produced is the same size force as the force on the bullet
Waves
refraction: light in a medium
dispersion
violet get refracted the most due to the waves being long
red gets refracted the least due to the waves being the shortest
polarisation
the film has crystals that are ordered into straight lines, only allowing one plane of light through
path difference
N: gives constructive interference
(N+0.5): gives destructive
theories of light
Einstien believed light was made of photons and they had no mass, behaved like particles and waves
Huygen believed in wave theory where light moved in waves
newton: believed in the particle theory and called them corpuscles
diffraction, reflection
