CIE A Level Physics复习笔记5.1.1 Work & Energy
Work Done In Physics, work is done when an object is moved over a distance by an external force applied in the direction of its displacement In the diagram below, the man’s pushing force on the blo...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记4.2.5 Archimedes Principle
Archimedes' Principle Archimedes’ principle states that an object submerged in a fluid at rest has an upward buoyancy force (upthrust) equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object The o...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记4.2.4 Upthrust
Upthrust Upthrust is a force which pushes upwards on an object submerged in a fluid i.e. liquids and gases Also known as buoyancy force, upthrust is due to the difference in hydrostatic pressure at...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记4.2.3 Derivation of ∆p = ρg∆h
Derivation of ∆p = ρg∆h Hydrostatic pressure is the pressure that is exerted by a fluid at equilibrium at a given point within the fluid, due to the force of gravity The derivation for this equatio...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记4.2.2 Pressure
Pressure Pressure tells us how concentrated a force is, it is defined as the force per unit area Pressure is equal to the force per unit area This equation tells us If a force is spread over a larg...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记4.2.1 Density
Density Density is the mass per unit volume of an object Objects made from low-density materials typically have a lower mass For example, a balloon is less dense than a small bar of lead despite oc...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记4.1.4 Conditions for Equilibrium
Equilibrium A system is in equilibrium when all the forces are balanced. This means: There is no resultant force There is no resultant torque An object in equilibrium will therefore remain at rest,...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记4.1.3 Turning Effects of Forces
Couples A couple is a pair of forces that acts to produce rotation only Unlike moments of a single force, the moment of a couple doesn’t depend on a pivot, only on the perpendicular distance betwee...
CIE A Level Physics复习笔记4.1.2 Moments
What is a Moment? A moment is the turning effect of a force Moments occur when forces cause objects to rotate about some pivot The moment of a force is given by Moment (N m) = Force (N) × perpendic...
