🧲 Force – Full description
Force is the ability of an object to change its position or motion. It can be either Push or Pull.
📌 Definition
A cause that changes an object's state of rest or state of motionForceis
🧮 Key formula
Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)
- ✔ F = Force (Newton)
- ✔ m = mass (kg)
- ✔ a = acceleration (m/s²)
💡 Types of key
- ✔ Contact Force
- ✔ Non-contact Force
👉 Contact Key
- ✔ Friction
- ✔ Push / Pull key
👉 Contactless Key
- ✔ Gravitational Force
- ✔ Magnetic Force
- ✔ Electrostatic Force
📊 Example
Mass of an object = 2 kg, acceleration = 3 m/s²
F = m × a = 2 × 3 =6 Newton
🔄 Key concepts
- ✔ Movement is unchanged without force
- ✔ The greater the force, the greater the acceleration
- ✔ Newton's laws explain force
📏 Important notes
- ✔ SI unit → Newton (N)
- ✔ F = m × a is important
- ✔ Push / Pull = Force
- ✔ Force = m × a
- ✔ Unit → Newton
- ✔ Contact & Non-contact force
🌊 Pressure – Full explanation
Pressure is the amount of force acting on a surface. It varies according to area.
📌 Definition
The force acting on a surface is the quantity divided by the surface areaPressureis
🧮 Key formula
Pressure (P) = Force (F) / Area (A)
- ✔ P = Pressure
- ✔ F = Force (Newton)
- ✔ A = Area (m²)
💡 SI unit
- ✔ Pascal (Pa)
- ✔ 1 Pascal = 1 N/m²
📊 Example
Force = 10 N, Area = 2 m²
P = 10 / 2 =5 pascals
🔄 Key concepts
- ✔ Less area → more pressure
- ✔ If surface area increases → pressure decreases
- ✔ Same force gives different pressure in different area
🌍 Types of stress
- ✔ Atmospheric Pressure
- ✔ Liquid Pressure
- ✔ Gas Pressure
📏 Important notes
- ✔ P = F / A
- ✔ Unit → Pascal
- ✔ If the area is less, the pressure is more
- ✔ Pressure = Force / Area
- ✔ Unit → Pascal (Pa)
- ✔ High pressure → small area
⚡ Energy – Full description
Energy is the ability of an object to do work. Energy is necessary for any action to take place.
📌 Definition
Ability to work on an objectEnergycalled
🧮 Key formula
1️⃣ Kinetic Energy
KE = 1/2 × m × v²
2️⃣ Potential Energy
PE = m × g × h
- ✔ m = mass (kg)
- ✔ v = velocity (m/s)
- ✔ g = gravitational force (9.8 m/s²)
- ✔ h = height (m)
💡 Types of energy
- ✔ Kinetic Energy
- ✔ Potential Energy
- ✔ Heat Energy
- ✔ Electrical Energy
- ✔ Light Energy
📊 Example
m = 2 kg, v = 4 m/s
KE = 1/2 × 2 × 4² = 1 × 16 =16 joules
🔄 Key concepts
- ✔ Energy can neither be created nor destroyed
- ✔ Change from one shape to another
- ✔ Energy conservation law is important
📏 SI unit
- ✔ Joule (J)
- ✔ KE = 1/2 mv²
- ✔ PE = mgh
- ✔ Unit → Joule
- ✔ Energy conservation law
💼 Work (Work) – full description
Work is the work done when a force acts on an object and it is displaced.
📌 Definition
If a force acts on an object and it moves a distanceWorkis said to have taken place.
🧮 Key formula
Work (W) = Force (F) × Distance (d)
- ✔ W = Work
- ✔ F = Force (Newton)
- ✔ d = distance (meter)
💡 SI unit
- ✔ Joule (J)
- ✔ 1 Joule = 1 N × 1 m
📊 Example
Force = 10 N, distance = 5 m
W = 10 × 5 =50 joules
🔄 Types of work
- ✔ Positive Work
- ✔ Negative Work
- ✔ Zero Work
👉 Positive Work
If the force and displacement are in the same direction
👉 Negative Work
If the force and displacement are in opposite directions
👉 Zero Work
If there is no displacement (d = 0)
📏 Important notes
- ✔ Work = Force × Distance
- ✔ Unit → Joule
- ✔ There is no work without Force
- ✔ W = F × d
- ✔ Unit → Joule
- ✔ Positive / Negative / Zero work
⚡ Power – Full description
Efficiency refers to how fast a job is done. It means the amount of work done per unit time.
📌 Definition
The amount of work done by an object per unit timePowercalled
🧮 Key formula
Power (P) = Work (W) / Time (t)
- ✔ P = Capacity
- ✔ W = Work (Joule)
- ✔ t = time (second)
💡 Alternative formula
P = Force × Velocity
📏 SI unit
- ✔ Watt (W)
- ✔ 1 Watt = 1 Joule / second
📊 Example
Work = 100 Joule, Time = 10 second
P = 100 / 10 =10 watts
🔄 Key concepts
- ✔ High efficiency if working at high speed
- ✔ Increase efficiency by working in less time
- ✔ Power shows the working speed
⚙️ Other units
- ✔ Horsepower (HP)
- ✔ 1 HP = 746 Watt
📌 Important notes
- ✔ P = W / t
- ✔ Unit → Watt
- ✔ More Speed → More Power
- ✔ Power = Work / Time
- ✔ Unit → Watt
- ✔ 1 HP = 746 W
