Edexcel A Level Physics:复习笔记2.9 Force & Acceleration
Newton's First Law of Motion Newton's First Law states: A body will remain at rest or move with constant velocity unless acted on by a resultant force The law is used to explain why things move wit...
Edexcel A Level Physics:复习笔记2.8 Forces as Vectors
Free-body Force Diagrams Free body diagrams are useful for modeling the forces that are acting on an object Each force is represented as a vector arrow, where each arrow: Is scaled to the magnitude...
Edexcel A Level Physics:复习笔记2.7 Projectiles
Components of Velocity The trajectory of an object undergoing projectile motion consists of a vertical component and a horizontal component These need to be evaluated separately Some key ter...
Edexcel A Level Physics:复习笔记2.6 Finding the Resultant Vector
Adding Vectors Vectors can be combined by adding or subtracting them to produce the resultant vector The resultant vector is sometimes known as the ‘net’ vector (eg. the net force) There are...
Edexcel A Level Physics:复习笔记2.5 Resolving Vectors
