    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

    operation of a roller coaster. A roller coaster is operated and designed through the application of Physics. The law of Conservation of Energy governs the changes in a coaster ’s speed and height. Simply put‚ the higher an object is off the ground‚ the more potential energy it has - that is‚ potential to gain speed as it falls. As it falls toward the ground‚ that potential energy changes to kinetic energy‚ or energy of motion. The sum of the two types of energy is constant‚ but a roller coaster must maintain

    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
