Definitions

  • Systematic Error: A consistent, repeatable error where measurements differ from the true value by a fixed amount or ratio in the same direction every time. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]. The problem is in the apparatus and experimental design

Affects Accuracy

  • Random Error: Unpredictable variations in measurements that fluctuate above and below the true value due to chance, environmental changes, or human limitation like human reaction time and changing eye level.

Basically just add

The percentage uncertainty in difference is 1.2/34 × 100 = 3.59%

We add the percentage uncertainty of both quantities to get the percentage uncertainty of 2ab.
And then after getting the percentage uncertainty we calculate the absolute uncertainty .

During free fall the ball only experiences the -9.8m/s² acceleration

When an object is thrown upwards and is in free fall, it slows down because it has a downward acceleration due to gravity. Since the acceleration is opposite to its upward velocity, the object decelerates.
Same for force even if resultant force is on left the object can be still be moving to right if velocity is positive.
Force determines direction of acceleration
Velocity determines direction of motion

Opposite signs means that acceleration is in the opposite direction sort of like resisting the movement

Initial vertical velocity is 0

See that vertical velocity is same but different direction when they are at same height

Gravity only affects the vertical component of velocity

At the peak there is no vertical velocity. vertical velocity is zero

Total speed²= (horizontal component of velocity)² + (vertical component of velocity)²

Mass is a property of an object that resists change in motion
Linear momentum (Momentum in straight line)— Product of mass and velocity
Force - rate of change of momentum
Weight- Effect of gravitational field on a mass
Weight of an object may be taken as acting at a single point known as its centre of gravity
Drag force= VIscous force
Drag force increases as speed increases.
Principal of conservation of momentum - The sum or total momentum of the bodies in a closed system is constant provided no resultant external forces act.
Elastic collision- Total kinetic energy is conserved and the relative speed of approach is equal to the relative speed of separation
Moment of a force- Force x perpendicular distance of the pivot from the line of action of force.
Torque of a couple- one of the forces x perpendicular distance from pivot.
Density- mass per unit volume
Pressure-force per unit area

Newton’s first law of motion- An object will remain at rest or in a state of uniform motion unless it is acted upon by a resultant force.
If a object has a high mass it has more inertia meaning that it has more resistance to acceleration and hence requires a larger resultant force to be act upon

Newton’s second law of motion- Resultant force is proportional(or equal) to the rate of change of momentum.
Can be also written as -Resultant force is proportional(or equal) to mass x acceleration.
Basically — F=ma

Newton’s third law of motion- When two bodies interact, The forces they exert on each other are of equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
The forces must be same type

When perfectly elastic collision happens
Total speed of approach = total speed of separation
Don’t confuse with velocity or something

For newtons third law of motion
The opposite forces must be of the same type

You push a wall with a contact force.

  • The wall pushes you with a contact force.

    Earth pulls you downward with gravitational force.

  • You pull Earth upward with gravitational force.

    Remember that earth pulls you

    Earth exerts a gravitational force on the book → pulls the book toward Earth.

  • The book exerts a gravitational force on Earth → pulls Earth toward the book.

Newton’s third law two forces act on different objects

They are not the cause of an object being in equilibrium

For an object to be equilibrium the forces should be acting on the same object be equal in magnitude and opposite in direction basically there vector resolution should be zero.

Both are newton’s third law pair

The equilibrium force that keeps book intact is the Earth pulls down on the book and table pushes up on the book as both of them act on book.

A couple is a pair of forces that act to produce rotation only.
Briefly speaking,
A couple is a pair of equal, parallel but opposite forces whose effect is to produce a turning effect on a body by giving it a rotational acceleration.

Torque is the product of one of the forces and the perpendicular distance between the forces

Torque is FS.

<p>How to derive the pgh = pressure formula (Δ P)<br>It is the formula for hydrostatic pressure and measures the difference between pressure at the bottom and at the top</p>

How to derive the pgh = pressure formula (Δ P)
It is the formula for hydrostatic pressure and measures the difference between pressure at the bottom and at the top

Upthrust is the F = ρgV which is the weight of liquid or gad displaced when you add an object in water or air.
Archimedes principle- The upthrust acting on a body is equal to the weight of the liquid or gas displaced.
Upthrust acting on an object is due to difference in hydrostatic pressure.

Pressure is scalar quantity as it acts in all direction and it’s not possible to define a direction to it.( expl not needed)

For an object submerged in a liquid:

  • Pressure on the top surface produces a downward force.

  • Pressure on the bottom surface produces an upward force.

  • Since liquid pressure increases with depth, the pressure at the bottom is greater than at the top.

  • Therefore, the upward force is greater than the downward force.

    The resultant upward force is called upthrust:

    Net Upthrust=upward force−downward force​
    Net Upthrust = pgv

    volume is the volume of the object that experiences the upthrust
    Density of the fluid


In gases it is known as thrust which is the upward force and direction it is moving in.

Also, when imagining drag force in liquid apply the same principle of air resistance that drag increases with speed.
