Energy Mechanics Vectors have direction E 10° S Velocity Acceleration Adding vectors using Pythagoras Don’t forget the angle! 1 st : An object will travel at constant velocity unless acted on by an unbalanced resultant force Newton’s Laws of Motion 3 rd : Every action has an equal and opposite reaction 2 nd : Unbalanced resultant force leads to an acceleration F = ma Friction and air resistance opposes motion Torque (N m) τ = Fd Balance: Clockwise torques = anticlockwise torques Momentum (kg ms -1 ) p = mv Always conserved (unless acted upon by an unbalanced force) Impulse Δp = Ft Separate vertical and horizontal motion Circular Motion Centripetal force: caused by friction or tension or gravity Centripetal acceleration: due to a change in direction NOT speed

Mirrors & Lenses Waves Longitudinal and Transverse v = f λ, T=1/f Reflection Refraction: TAG AGA Diffraction, max if λ = gap longer λ get diffracted more Superposition & Interference Interference pattern Constructive (max amp) & destructive (min amp) Standing Waves Electromagnetic Spectrum Ray Diagrams Diverging Converging Total Internal Reflection at critical angle f is negative Di, Hi is negative f is positive Di, Hi is positive
