This Section is just the first part of periodic motion with respect to motion in a circle, It is really important you spend quite a lot of time working on the basic maths here as it underpins the simple harmonic motion. Don’t skip through the practice questions or practical work as it is crucial to …
This is a page for resource for the Thermal Physics section of the book. With this unit remember a couple of common issues. Don’t get confused and make simple calculating errors such as including the temperature in a latent heat calculation. As always, practice is the key. Converting kelvin incorrectly is a common source of …
This is a place for all the gas law derivations and theory for Chapter 20. Common Issues are confusing the gas law equations. Try and remember just the ideal gas equation, or only that pV/T is a constant. By crossing out the controlled variable (p, V or T), equations for the three separate gas laws …
