  • Scalar - has magnitude only, to get the sum of the scalar quantities, you simply get the algebraic sum of their magnitudes
  • Vector - has both magnitude and direction, to get the sum of the vector quantities you simply get the algebraic sum of the magnitudes.
  • x component - a vector represents how far the vector goes in the horizontal direction.
  • y component - a vector represents how far the vector goes in the vertical direction.
  • Vector quantities - have magnitude and direction.
  • Resultant vector - is a combination or in simpler words, can be defined as the sum of two or more vectors which has its own magnitude and direction.
  • Pythagorean Theorem - is a fundamental principle.
  • Momentum - It is the product of mass and velocity of a moving subject.
  • Impulse - The net force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change in an object's momentum over time.
  • How can we change the Momentum of an object?
    Increasing Momentum and Decreasing Momentum.
  • Collision - It also shows one of the fundamental laws in physics the law of conservation of momentum.
  • Elastic Collisions - Occurs when objects strike each other and no deformation occurs.
  • Inelastic Collisions - Occur when objects strike each other and stick together.
  • Work - is defined as a force acting upon an object to cause a displacement.
  • d = displacement
  • angle = theta
  • Power - rate of energy transfer.
  • Energy - ability to do work
  • Mechanical energy - is the energy which is possessed by an object due to its motion or its stored energy of position.
  • Kinetic energy - Is the energy of motion
  • Potential energy - an object can store energy as the result of its position
  • Gravitational Potential energy - associated with an object at a given location above the surface of the earth.
  • Elastic potential energy - can be thought of as the energy stored in the deformed spring
  • Projectile motion - is a form of motion in which an object or particle is thrown near the earths surface, and it moves along a curved path under the action of gravity only.
  • Projectile
    an object in projectile motion
  • Trajectory
    path that the projectile follows
  • Peak
    Highest point that the projectile could reach during its motion
  • Range
    The horizontal displacement of the projectile from its initial position in which its vertical displacement is zero
  • Parabola
    Shape of the path of a projectile.
  • Derivation of projectile motion
    an object is projected at an angle with respect to the horizontal, the velocity of the projectile
  • Parabolic
    Path traced by an object accelerating only in the vertical direction while moving at constant horizontal velocity.
  • Heat
    as the form of energy that can be transferred from one system to another as a result of temperature difference.
  • Thermodynamic analysis
    is concerned with the amount of heat transfer as a system undergoes a process from one equilibrium state to another
  • Heat Transfer
    The science that deals with the determination of the rates of such energy transfers
