You should learn this important note Physics Important Notes (High School)
1. Motion
Motion = Change in position with time
Distance = Total path covered
Displacement = Shortest distance in a specific direction
Speed = Distance Time
Velocity = Displacement Time
Acceleration = Change in velocity Time
Formula:
2. Force and Laws of Motion
Force = Push or pull
SI unit = Newton (N)
Newtons Laws:
An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force
Force = Mass Acceleration
Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
3. Work, Energy and Power
Work = Force Distance
Energy = Capacity to do work
Types: Kinetic energy and Potential energy
Power = Work Time
Formula:
4. Gravitation
Every object in the universe attracts every other object
Formula:
5. Light
Light travels in a straight line
Reflection = Bouncing back of light
Refraction = Bending of light
Law of Reflection:
Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection
6. Electricity
Electric current = Flow of electric charge
SI unit = Ampere (A)
Ohms Law:
7. Magnetism
Magnets have two poles: North and South
Like poles repel, unlike poles attract
8. Sound
Sound travels in the form of waves
It requires a medium (cannot travel in vacuum)
Exam Tips:
Learn formulas and units
Practice numerical problems daily
Draw neat diagrams
Write answers in points
