Form 4 TERM Acceleration ,a

VALUE Low / small (+) High / big negative Low / small High / large Small Large / big Low / small High / large Low / small High / large

MEANING Slow increase of velocity Fast increase of velocity Decrease in velocity, deceleration Lighter / less compact Heavier / more compact Spring is soft / easy to stretch Spring is stiff / difficult to stretch

Easily heated up , short time to heat up Need less heat to raise temperature

Density, Spring Force constant , k Specific Heat Capacity ,c

More difficult to heat up, takes more time to heat up Need more heat to raise temperature, use more fuel

Specific Latent Heat, L

Need less heat to melt / vaporise Time to melt / vaporise is shorter

Need more heat to melt / vaporise Time to melt / vaporise is longer

Melts at low temperature / Freezes at low temperature.

Melting point / Freezing point

Low

<!--[if !supportLists]--> <!--[endif]-->Starts melting earlier / Starts freezing later

Melts at higher temperature / Freezes at higher temperature.

High

<!--[if !supportLists]--> <!--[endif]-->Starts melting latter / Starts freezing earlier

Starts boiling at lower temperature Starts boiling earlier condensation occur at slower rate Starts boiling at higher temperature Starts boiling latter Condensation occur at faster rate

Low Boiling point High Refractive index Critical angle Power (of a lens) Low / small High / large Small Large / big Low

Substance that refracts light less Substance that refracts light more Easier for total internal reflection to occur Difficult for total internal reflection to occur

Large / long focal length Refract light less

High Focal length Short Large / long

Short focal length Refract light more

Higher power , thicker lens Lower power
