What we have learnt
- Motion is described in terms of distance and displacement.
- Speed is a measure of distance over time, while velocity also considers direction.
- Newton's Laws explain how forces influence motion, detailing their types and effects.
Key Concepts
- -- Kinematics
- The branch of physics that deals with the motion of objects without considering the forces that cause the motion.
- -- Force
- A push or pull that causes a change in an object's state of motion. It is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction.
- -- Acceleration
- The rate at which an object's velocity changes over time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).
- -- Newton's Laws of Motion
- Three fundamental laws describing the relationship between the motion of objects and the forces acting on them.
- -- Pressure
- The force applied per unit area on a surface, with important applications in various physical systems.
