Physics Formulas: Mechanics Mechanics is the oldest branch of physics. Mechanics deals with all kinds and complexities of motion. It includes various techniques‚ which can simplify the solution of a mechanical problem. Here are some of the often required physics formulas falling in mechanics domain. Motion in One Dimension The physics formulas for motion in one dimension (Also called Kinematical equations of motion) are as follows. (Here ’u’ is initial velocity‚ ’v’ is final velocity‚ ’a’ is

Module 1 Physics: The Basic Science What this module is about The study of science has two branches namely‚ the life sciences and the physical sciences. The life sciences include biology‚ zoology and botany. The physical sciences branch into areas such as geology‚ astronomy‚ chemistry and physics. However‚ physics is more than part of physical sciences because it does not only deal with matter and energy but it also deals with the other basic concepts like motion‚ forces‚ heat‚ sound‚ light

PHYSICS UNIT 2 Physics P2 for GCSE Additional Science or GCSE Physics AQA GCSE Science PHYSICS 2 Unit P2.1 Forces and their effects Appreciate that forces can cause changes to the shape or motion of an object. Not only can objects can move in a straight line at a constant speed but they can also change their speed and/ or direction (accelerate or decelerate). Be able to use/produce graphs can help us to describe the movement of an object. These may be distance-time graphs or velocity-time graphs

4s and the reaction time while someone is distracting the member is 0.5s‚ and lastly graph matching. 1. Introduction All of us have the ability to move. Knowing how to describe motion is an important first step in understanding the underlying physics that governs changes in motion. We see changes in motion all the time‚ as we go to work or school‚ participate in sports or even wander around our homes. If we never changed our own motion‚ we would never make it out of bed in the morning. The study

wavelengths) of these radiations can tell us a lot about the molecule‚ atom‚ and nucleus under study. Since diffraction-grating spectrometers and other types of radiation spectrometers are widely used in all sciences you should be familiar with the basic physics of such device What does diffraction look like? When light diffracts off of the edge of an object‚ it creates a pattern of light referred to as a diffraction pattern. If a monochromatic light source‚ such as a laser‚ is used to observe diffraction
