Newtons Laws
Newtons 1st Law
Law of Inertia
When the vector sum of all forces acting on a
body (the net force) is zero, the body is in
equilibrium and has zero acceleration

Examples

Newtons 2nd Law
Law of Acceleration
When the vector sum of all forces acting on a
body (the net force) is zero, the body is in
equilibrium and has zero acceleration

Examples

Newtons 3nd Law
Law of Action and Reaction
When the vector sum of all forces acting on a
body (the net force) is zero, the body is in
equilibrium and has zero acceleration

Waves

Any disturbance from an equilibrium
condition that propagates from one
region to another.

Mechanical Waves
A mechanical wave always travels
within some material called the medium



Transverse Waves - displacements of
the medium are perpendicular or
transverse to the direction of travel of
the wave along the medium.
Longitudinal Waves - the motions of
the particles of the medium are back
and forth along the same direction
that the wave travels.


Amplitude - The characteristic height of
a peak and depth of a trough


Wavelength ()- The distance between
any two adjacent points which are in
phase


Period (T) - the time it takes for any two
adjacent points which are in phase to
pass a fixed point

Frequency ()- how many waves go by
in 1 second



Speed the speed of propagation of a
wave



Coulombs Law

Electric Field



Circuits
Series circuits
a circuit in which resistors are arranged in a
chain, so the current has only one path to
take.

Parallel circuits
A parallel circuit is a circuit in which the
resistors are arranged with their heads
connected together, and their tails
connected together.


Circuits
Resistors in Series


Resistors in Parallel





Kirchhoffs rules
Junction Rule - the algebraic sum of the
currents into any junction must be zero


Loop Rule - the algebraic sum of
potential differences around any loop
must be zero
