Downloaded from www.campusportal.com.ng PHYSICS PREAMBLE The syllabus is evolved from the Senior Secondary School teaching syllabus and is intended to indicate the scope of the course for Physics examination. It is structured with the conceptual approach. The broad concepts of matter‚ position‚ motion and time; energy; waves; fields; Atomic and Nuclear Physics‚ electronics are considered and each concept forms a part on which other subconcepts are further based. AIMS The aims of the syllabus are to enable candidates

Investigation: how the resistance in a circuit varies with the length‚ thickness and type of wire Introduction A current is a flow of negative electrons around a circuit or electrical pathway. This is measured in how many electrons per second or the charge they are carrying go round the circuit (amps or amperes) Voltage or Potential Difference measures how much energy individual electrons have to use up as they go around a circuit. (Volts) Components in a circuit have a Resistance value which will

Physics (from Ancient Greek: φυσική (ἐπιστήμη) phusikḗ (epistḗmē) “knowledge of nature”‚ from φύσις phúsis "nature"[1][2][3]) is the natural science that involves the study of matter[4] and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force.[5] More broadly‚ it is the general analysis of nature‚ conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves.[a][6][7] Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines‚ perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of astronomy

Biology coursework: Substrate specificity in yeast AIM: To find out which substrate (glucose‚ starch‚ maltose‚ sucrose or lactose)‚ does yeast‚ the organism containing the enzyme‚ breaks down the quickest. Introduction: Usually‚ every enzyme has a specific substrate that is what we call the “lock and key” theory. We can try the reaction of an enzyme with different substrates and this enzyme will just work well with one of those substrates. One type of reaction catalyzed by enzymes is anaerobic respiration

Batteries‚ Resistance and Current “Battery-Resistor”: Check “show battery” and “show cores”‚ watch what happens‚ adjust some variables 1. Why do electrons (blue dots) move? Draw a diagram of the battery‚ label the flow of electrons. The flow of current (+) is opposite; draw this and note if toward or away from + terminal of the battery. The blue dots indicating the electrons move because there is a voltage across the battery in which the electrons flow away from the positive terminal

(120V) = 0.5 A 10. Using the formula Power = current X voltage‚ show that the current drawn by a 1200-W hair dryer connected to 120 V is 10 A. Then using your same method for the solution to the previous problem‚ show that the resistance of the hair dryer is 12 Ω. Resistance = Voltage / Current 1200 W / 120 V = 10 A 120 V / 10 A = 12 Ω Chapter 11 Magnetism and Electromagnet Induction Exercises (p.242) 16.

SPH4U-B 4 Circular Motion Physics SPH4U-B Lesson 4 Introduction Transportation has undoubtedly advanced. Not only have vehicles changed‚ but the means by which people can get themselves to and from different locations has changed as well. Maps and compasses now take a backseat to the Global Positioning System (GPS). Access to the GPS is now very widespread; 24 satellites above our atmosphere are used to send and receive information in order to accurately determine locations of

Physics (Thorpe Park Trip) Report: On Monday 8th October our physics class went on a physics trip to Thorpe Park to look at the different ways in which a roller coast works. This report will be looking at the G forces acting on rides‚ the launching systems and breaking systems. The particular rollercoaster which I have picked to look into more detail in is “Stealth” which is located in Thorpe Park. Stealth: Stealth was originally designed by Werner Stengel. Stealth reaches a height of 205 feet
