Characteristics and Nature of Waves In physics‚ a wave is a disturbance that travels through space and time‚ usually accompanied by the transfer of energy. Waves travel and the wave motion transfers energy from one point to another‚ often with no permanent displacement of the particles of the medium—that is‚ with little or no associated mass transport. They consist‚ instead‚ of oscillations or vibrations around almost fixed locations. For example‚ a cork on rippling water will bob up and down

Physics 1 – Mechanics and Heat Lecture Notes Prepared by: ENGR. HAROLD JAN R. TERANO‚ ECE Lesson 5 ROTATIONAL KINEMATICS AND DYNAMICS Uniform Circular Motion – an object moves at a constant speed along a circular path. Velocity is always tangent to the path in circular motion. Speed is constant‚ velocity is not. Centripetal Acceleration‚ – acceleration that maintains the object along a circular path directed towards the center. Also called as radial acceleration

ATOMIC PHYSICS The nuclear atom All matter is made up of atoms which consist of a central nucleus‚ surrounded by electrons. Inside the nucleus are protons and neutrons. Particle Relative mass Charge Location Proton 1840 + Nucleus Neutron 1840 0 Nucleus Electron 1 - Outside nucleus Proton or atomic number (Z) This is the total number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Nucleon or mass number (A) This is the total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom. Note: a nucleon

Physics Moment of a force: Moment of a force = force x perpendicular distance of the line if action if the force from fulcrum Law of moments: When a body is in equilibrium the sum of the clockwise moments about any point equals the sum of the anticlockwise moments about the same point. Centre of mass: Centre of mass is the point where whole mass of the body assumes to be concentrated. II. If the vertical line through the centre of mass is outside the base it will be a topples but if it’s passed

In your own words explain why Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be the “father of modern science” Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be the father of modern science because of how many of Galileo’s discoveries have become the basis of today’s science. 2. Why did Galileo choose to use a ramp to perform his acceleration experiment? Technology during Galileo’s time was still quite primitive. His experiment which required him to drop

This year in science‚ we were paired up in groups to build a car powered only by a rubber band. There was a lot of physics and thought put behind the planning of our car. The rubber band moved the car by storing up elastic potential energy which then turned into kinetic energy when released. Newton’s Laws of Motion also come in handy when thinking about how to keep the car moving. “An object in motion stays in motion.” There was also a lot of thought put into the wheels. We had to be aware of the
