Today we’ll cover:

• Linear momentum
  • Principle of Conservation of Momentum
  • Collisions
  • Kinetic energy in collisions

Let’s go!

Now we’ll be covering:

• Two-dimensional Motion under a Constant Force (Projectile Motion)
  • Characteristics
  • Problem-solving

Let’s jump in!

Today we’ll be covering:

• distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration
• graphs of motion
  • determine displacement from the area under a velocity-time graph
  • determine velocity using the gradient of a displacement-time graph
  • determine acceleration using the gradient of a velocity-time graph
• equations of motion
• uniformly accelerated motion in a straight line

Let’s get to it!

The syllabus requires us to know about:

• Instruments
  • Lengths: rulers, calipers and micrometers
  • Weight & Mass: balances
  • Angles: protractor
  • Time: clocks, stopwatches & CRO Time-Base
  • Temperature: thermometer
  • Ammeters, Voltmeters & Galvanometers
  • CROs
  • Magnetic Field Strength: Hall Probe
• Analogue scales & digital displays
• Calibration curves

I’ll only cover the last 2 sub-topics, as the instruments are quite straightforward in operation. Perhaps later I’ll edit this post & explain those. For now,

Let’s jump in.
