  • FORCES
    • Momentum
      • vector
      • Conservation of momentum
        • Total momentum before and after any event must be equal
          • Momentum is always conserved in a collision / explosion
      • P = mv
        • P = momentum (kg m/s)
      • Force = change in momentum / time
        • F = (mv-mu) / t
          • Newton's 2nd law
    • Pressure
      • Upthrust
        • submerged object experience an upward pressure below it
          • greater pressure on the bottom surface than the top surface
        • Floats
          • its weight is less than the weight that water displaces
            • E.g. 100 kg object has to displace 100 kg water to float
            • object doesn't completely submerge before displacement finish
      • force exerted by liquid
      • measured in pascals (Pa)
      • p = F/A
        • force per unit area
      • column of liquid
        • p = h rol g
          • h = height (m)
          • rol = density
      • Atmospheric Pressure
        • Thin layer pf air around Earth
          • Pressure decreases with altitude
            • fewer air molecules above the unit area than the same area at lower heights
              • Smaller weight, means less presure
        • Model
          • Isothermal: all at same temperature
          • Opague to terrestrial radiation
    • Newton's Laws
      • 1st: An object is at rest/constant velocity unless it's acted on by a resultant force
        • Inertia
          • tendency for objects to continue in uniform velocity / remain stationary
          • how difficult it's for the velocity of an object to change
          • inertial mass = f/a
      • 2nd: F=ma
        • acceleration is proportional to force and reversely proportional to mass
      • 3rd: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
    • Inertia
      • tendency for objects to continue in uniform velocity / remain stationary
      • how difficult it's for the velocity of an object to change
      • inertial mass = f/a
