  • Hooks law states the the amount of force that is applied to a spring is directly proportional to the extension of the spring given that it does not exceed the elastic table.
  • Snell's law states that the ratio sin i/ sin r is constant for a given pair of media. Where angle r is the angle of refraction and angle i is the angle of incidence
  • Boyle's law states that at a constant temperature the pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume.
  • Newton's first law states that an object will remain stationary or continue moving with a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force.
  • The equation for Boyle's law is P1V1 = p2v2.

  • Refraction is the bending of a wave as it passes from one medium to another due to a change in its speed.
  • The Laws of refraction
    1. The first law of refraction, also known as Snell's law states that the ratio of the sine of the angle of incidence (θ₁) to the sine of the angle of refraction (θ₂) is equal to the ratio of the velocities or refractive indices of the two media, n₁ * sin(θ₁) = n₂ * sin(θ₂)
    2. The incident ray, the reflected ray, and the normal to the point of incidence all lie on the same plane.
  • Hooke's law can be stated as F = ke where k is the force constant of the spring and e is the extension.
  • The elastic limit (E) is the point beyond which any further increase In the load applied to a spring will produce a permanent stretch.
  • Velocity can be defined as the displacement of an object per unit time.
  • Heat capacity(C) is the amount of heat energy needed to raise the temperature of a substance by one unit of temperature per unit of mass.
  • Specific Heat Capacity (c) = energy required to raise the temperature of 1kg of a substance by 1 degree
  • Specific latent heat fusion of ice is the amount of energy needed to change 1kg of ice to water with no change in temperature.
  • Specific latent heat of vaporization is the heat needed to change the unit mass of the substance from liquid to gas at a constant temperature and pressure.
  • A perfect insulator does not allow any heat to pass through it, so its thermal conductivity is zero.
  • Conduction is the process whereby heat passes from one part of a body to another without movement of matter.
  • Heat capacity formula is Q = mcΔT
  • Heat energy formula EH=McΔT (energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
