Ch. 1 (Units)
Experimental Physics
Fundamental & Derived Units
Graphs – Relations
*It’s something we do make sense of our observations – patterns seen are through
measurements that require units
Then we look for relationships to graphs and algebraic expressions.
Ch.2 (Vectors) – position *frame of reference – all relative (it matters the p.o.v you are
making the observations)
Frame of Reference
Coordinates
o Cartesian
o Polar
Vectors/Scalar
Vector Algebra (+ / - )
o Resultant
Ch. 3 1-D Motion
Motion relative
o Uniform and Nonuniform – constant @ different time intervals is uniform
path while nonuniform at different intervals it covers different distancds
Average and Instantaneous Motion
o Average and Instantaneous Velocity
Calculating the average velocity over a infinite small period of time
while average is over a greater displacement
[https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-does-instantaneous-velocity-
differ-from-average-velocity/]
o Constant vs. Constant (Uniform) Acceleration
Constant Motion – means that velocity remains constant or
unchanging
Constant Acceleration – velocity is changing but at a uniform rate
meaning that acceleration is -
Relative Velocity – it’s the velocity from the frame of reference of some other thing
Velocity, Speed, Acceleration
o Algebraic & Graphical Interpretation
o Area & Slope
Uniformity
Ch. 4 (2-D Motion)
Relative Motion – given the frame of reference from the p.ov.
Relative Velocity (Effective Velocity)
Relative Displacement
o Components to 2 parts
Projectile Paths – only downward vertical force placed is gravity (constant vertical
accerlation)
o Horizontal Vertical would be independent
Range – max horizontal distance of a projectile travels
This would means that constant velocity with in the path there is no
force applied – zero acceleration for projectiles
o Launched @ Angle
The initial velocity has to be broken into independent components
Angle also affects range, trajectory more so
o Range – total horizontal distance traveled by the projectile
Uniform Circular Motion
Q*: What is circular motion and its components?
Why is it important in terms of motion and how is circular motion different and similar to
other kinematic motions?
o Frequency
o Tangential Velocity
o Centripetal Force/ Acceleration
Q* What does the frequency show as well its connection to the scalar components in
circular motion.
*Kinematics we make sense of the a given frame of reference to describe various forms of
motion using the its units making sense of our observations
Ch. 5 (Forces and Newton’s Laws)
Forces
o What are the various balanced and unbalanced forces and why is it significant
to motion and related to kinematics?
Net Force
o What is the net force and how is related to static application of newton’s laws
?
Equilibrium
o Static
o Dynamics
What differentiates static and equilibrium states given net force and
why is important for various types of forces?
Newton’s Law of Motion [free body diagram of various forces that work to resist or
to trigger motion – state of equilibrium affected]
o 1st – inertia [ultimately the net force is zero but that means that either at rest
or there is a constant velocity meaning there is no acceleration
Inertial – goes both ways either once in motion stays and once in rest
likely to stay in rest
nd
o 2 - mass/unbalanced
Weight
rd
o 3 – conservation laws
o Static Applications
Normal Force
Spring
Hooke’s Law
o Dynamic Application
Incline
Central Forces
o Tension
o Centripetal Force
Friction
o Static
o Kinetic
o Coefficient of Friction
Q** How are the different forces and their directions significant in differentiating them
*Force triggers and changes the behaviors of motions – we find that there are laws that
explain their relationships (Newton’s)
Questions:
Why are units and graphs essential to the study of Physics?
Why is the concept of “relativity” significant in Physics and how is it applied to
describing patterns in Physics?
How are vectors and scalar units different and significant to form the algebraic and
graphical connections between in both 1-D and 2-D kinematics and its variety?
Explain how there are differences and similarities between the components of
various Kinematic motions.
How are Newton’s Laws related to forces and explain the laws significance to the
components of various forces.
How are the ideas of uniformity, static, dynamics related to kinematics and
dynamics?
How are the kinematic formulas using scalar and vectors related to derive them and
what are their significances? (Math)
AIM (Part 2)
Ch. 6 – 19
Ch. 6. (Energy, Work, Impulse)
Work – Force
Energy – Work
o PE
Gravitational
o KE
Einstein’s theory of relativity
Mass – energy
Power
Elastic energy & Hooke’s Law
Law of conservation of energy
* F that causes object to move means work is done it – helps measure dynamics
Or work means how much energy is transferred (as forms of energy transferred it leads the
force to cause object to move)
Energy – capacity to do work required for work to be done The main trigger for the F
(dynamics) cause Motion (kinematics) idea
*Relationship of motion (extraction and contraction) of molecules within matter with its
relationships of several laws
Ch. 10 (Measurement of Heat)
Heat Content
Internal energy
Specific heat capacity
Change of phase
Heat of fusion
Regelation
Vaporization
o Evaporation
o Boiling
Heat of vaporization
Boiling point
o Sublimation
Condensation
* Just the dynamics in PE and KE within molecules when heating occurs and the changes in
phases that happens as well as its characteristics – the behavior of the matters applied
solid, liquid, gas and its processes

*taking two different light paths and observe their patterns of motion as well as
characeristics
*The relationship of the electric force that acts on a “charge” – see how motions of charges
are described and their behaviors change. Also showcases how measure of work done on a
charge under a electric field this helps describe the kinematics of currents in circuits
*using the scalar and vector (mag & direction) to interpret magnetic forces on the charges
with variations on its effect on motions through some mediums under a magnetic field
• Capacitors

• Fission and Fusion
Guiding Questions:
How do the various fields for the types of forces placed on some particle overlapping
or contrasting in their components of their forces and the behavior of their motions?
How does energy, work and impulse run parallel to the momentum and impulse as
well how momentum and impulse are connected to Newton’s second law of motion.
As different fields in physics contain different particles of showcasing the
relationship of the cause and descriptive behaviors of their motions, compare and
contrast each of their relationships so that it signifies the connection of the big
picture of physics’ interpretation of observed data in laws, graphical and algebraic
relationships.
