Physical Sciences Break 1.0

Newton’s laws and application of Newton’s laws (This section must be read in conjunction with the CAPS, p. 62–66.) Different kinds of forces: weight, normal force, frictional force, applied force (push, pull), tension (strings or cables) • Define normal force, N, as the force or the component of a force which a surface exerts on…

See on Scoop.it – PHYSICAL SCIENCES BREAK 1.0  Water (H2O), for example, is a compound that is made up of two hydrogen atoms for every one oxygen atom. Sodium chloride (NaCl) is a compound made up of one sodium atom for every chlorine atom. An important characteristic of a compound is that it has a chemical…

See on Scoop.it – PHYSICAL SCIENCES BREAK 1.0 Any vector can be resolved into a horizontal and a vertical component. If R  is a vector, then the horizontal component of R is R x and the vertical component is R y. Chipa Thomas Maimela‘s insight: A number of vectors acting together can be combined to give a single vector (the resultant). In much the…

See on Scoop.it – PHYSICAL SCIENCES BREAK 1.0 When they come into contact, ball 1 exerts a contact force on the ball 2, F B1, and the ball 2 exerts a force on ball 1, F B2. We also know that the force will result in a change in momentum: Chipa Thomas Maimela‘s insight: Definition 1: System A system is…
