TOPIC 8: WORK ENERGY AND POWER | PHYSICS FORM 1 Work The Concept of Work Explain the concept of work If a person pushes a wall and the wall does not move, though the person may sweat and physically become tired, he would not have done any work. But if the person pushes a trolley … Read more
TOPIC 7: PRESSURE | PHYSICS FORM 1 Concept of Pressure The Concept of Pressure Explain the concept of pressure Pressure is defined as the force per unit area. OR Pressure is the force acting normally (perpendicularly) per unit surface area. It is calculated by the formula: Pressure = Force (f)/Area (A) P = F/A Where … Read more
TOPIC 6: STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF MATTER | PHYSICS FORM 1 Structure of Matter State of matter is defined in terms of the phase transitions which indicate the change in structure and properties. Solids, liquids and gases all are made up of microscopic particles. The behavior of all these particles also varies in three phases. The … Read more
TOPIC 5: ARCHIMEDES’ PRINCIPLE AND LAW OF FLOTATION | PHYSICS FORM 1 Archimedes’ principle indicates that the upward buoyant force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. The Concept of Upthrust Explain the concept of … Read more
TOPIC 4: FORCE | PHYSICS FORM 1 Force A force is an interaction that causes a change. In mechanics, a force is an interaction that causes a change in velocity (an interaction that causes acceleration). Concept of Force The Concept of Force Explain the concept of force For better understanding of this concept, let’s ask … Read more
