WORKSHEET 2.2

Title: The BIG Equation

Newton’s Second Law of Motion can be formally stated as follows:
The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force, is directly
proportional to the magnitude of the net force in the same direction
as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.
EQUATION:

a=FNET/m
The net force can be equated to the product of the mass times the
acceleration.

Fnet=m (a)

The NET FORCE F

It is important to remember this distinction. It is the net force that is
related to acceleration.

COLORS OF LIGHT

Introduction:

Color is a way that we describe an object based on the way that it reflects or emits light. Light it behaves
like a particle and wave, it is radiant energy, usually referring to electromagnetic radiation that is visible to the eye.
Electromagnetic Theory of Light was proposed by James Clark Maxwell, he proposed that electric and magnetic
fields were propagated together and that their speed was identical with the speed of light.

Light travels much faster than sound, fast in straight lines, exhibit the characteristics and properties of
wave.

Why do we see blue sky most of the time? Sunlight reaches the earth’s atmosphere and is scattered
in all directions by all the gases and particle in the air. Blue light is scattered more than the other colors because
it travels as shorter, smaller waves.

Why does red sunset happen? As the sun gets lower in the sky, its light is passing through more of the
atmosphere to reach you, even more of the blue light is scattered allowing the reds and yellows to passed straight
to your eyes. The sky appears red because small particles of dust, pollution or other aerosols also scatter blue
light, leaving more purely red and yellow light to go through the atmosphere.

How does a rainbow occur? A rainbow is a meteorological phenomenon that is cause by reflection,
refraction ad dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the
form of a multicolored circular arc. Rainbows cause by sunlight always appear in the section of the sun directly
opposite the sun.

Like energy passing through the ocean light energy travels in waves too. Some light travels in short,
“choppy waves”. Blue white waves are shorter than red light waves.

All lights travel in a straight line unless something gets in the way and thus one of these things:

1. Reflect it (like a mirror)

2. Bend it (like a prism)
3. Or scatter it (like molecules of the gases in the atmosphere)

Electrical Circuit
Ohm’s Law is named after the German Physicist George Ohm, who first described the law. Ohm’s
Law says that the electric current moving through a conductor between two points is in direct
proportion to the voltage across those points: V = IR. V stands for voltage, I represents the current,
and R stands for resistance. The formula describes how a current move through a resistance when
there are different voltages present at each end of the resistance. Resistance means how much an
object resists the flow of an electric current. Conversely, Ohm’s Law says that a current is inversely
proportional to resistance: I = V/R. If you know either of these two variables (I, V, *or R) you can
calculate the other using Ohm’s Law.

We use two main kinds of current in electric circuits: alternating current (AC) and direct current
Here is an example to help you visualize Ohm’s Law. An electric current flow through a wire in
much the same way that water flows through a pipe. The pressure of the water is like the voltage
of an electric current. The current is the amount of water flowing through the pipe. The resistance
is the size of the pipe. The greatest amount of water will flow through the pipe if there is more
water, more force applied to move the water, and if the pipe is bigger (i.e., the resistance is lower).
(DC). In Alternating Current, the flow of electrons is always changing directions. AC is used
primarily to transmit power along power lines. In Direct Current, there is a constant

QUESTIONS:

1. What does Ohm’s Law say?

2. In the formula V = IR, what does each letter stand for?

3. What is resistance?

5. In the analogy about water flowing through a pipe, what does the size of the pipe
represent?

6. What is the difference between Alternating Current (AC) and Direct Current (DC)?

7. What kind of circuits does Ohm’s Law apply to?

B. There are two basic kinds of electrical circuits, parallel and series. A circuit can be
considered open or closed depending on whether current can pass through the circuit.
For the two circuits shown below, provide lines to show where the wires should connect
and identify the following as series circuit or parallel circuit.
