WORKED EXAMPLE
1 of 223
In addition and subtraction round off the answer to the lowest no of decimal places in the raw data
for e.g.
12.015 + 13.9 = 25.9
12.567 + 13.9 = 26.5
In multiplication and division the answer should be rounded off to the lowest no of significant figure
in the raw data
For example:
2.31 x 9 = 20.79 rounded off to 20, one sf, because 2.31 is three sf and 9 is one sf, hence the
answer is rounded off to one sf
Note: for multiplication and division the answer could be given to one sf more than the lowest one.
In that case the answer for the above example would be 21

A quantity with a magnitude and a unit is a physical quantity.
Base units
All units in science are derived from seven base units. These are as follows:
Mass
Distance
Time
Current
Amount of substance
Temperature
Light Intensity
kilogram
meter
second
ampere
mole
Kelvin
candela
kg
m
s

Prefixes
Now you have units, you often need to group these into larger or smaller numbers
to make them more manageable. For example, you don't say that you are going to
see someone who lives 100,000 m away from you; you say they live 100 km away
from you.

Scalars and vectors
A vector is a quantity, which has both a magnitude and a direction. Examples of
vectors are displacement, velocity, acceleration, moments (or torque), momentum,
force, electric field etc.
SIR SAMEER UZ ZAMAN
Notes:
A scalar is a quantity, which has magnitude (numerical size) only. Examples of scalars
are Distance, speed, mass, time, temperature, work done, pressure, power, electric
charge, energy, volume, and temperature etc. these quantities can be added or
subtracted by adding or subtracting their magnitudes.

Coplanar vectors in equilibrium triangle of forces
If system is in equilibrium that mean there is no net force on it. If we add up all the
forces, by using head to tail rule, it would form a closed vector triangle (meaning
there would be no place to draw a resultant vector). In this triangle the arrows for
the forces follow each other.

Vector subtraction
The easiest way to think about vector subtraction is in terms of adding a negative
vector.
What’s a negative vector?
It’s the same vector as its positive counterpart, only pointing in the opposite
direction. As shown below
A – B, then, is the same thing as A + (–B). For instance, let’s take the two vectors A
and B:
To subtract B from A, take a vector of the same magnitude as B, but pointing in the
opposite direction, and add that vector to A, using either the tip-to-tail method or
the parallelogram method.

Uncertainty
Natural variations in measurements are called uncertainties. They may come about
for the following reasons:
●
No instrument is exactly precise.
●
Different people may use different instruments.
●
Sometimes instruments are wrongly read.
●
The instrument’s adjustments may change.
The uncertainty in a set of readings is the maximum deviation from the mean value.
To illustrate this point, let us consider the following example; An experiment was
conducted to determine the free-fall acceleration. The results obtained were as
follows:
g (in ms−2) =
9.81, 9.80, 9.78, 9.81, 9.83, 9.81, 9.82, 9.81, 9.84,
9.79, 9.80, 9.83, 9.81, 9.79, 9.80, 9.82, 9.81, 9.82.
The mean value (to 3 sig fig.) is 9.81 ms−2. If N represents the number of times each
value is obtained, the graph of N
against g will be as follows:

The absolute uncertainty is the
maximum deviation from the mean
value.
∆𝑔𝑔 = (9.84 − 9.81) 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 −2
= 0.03 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 −2
Note: Absolute uncertainty should
always be stated to 1 significant
figure.

Systematic Errors
⎯
It is an error that is consistent in magnitude as well as in sign.
⎯
It cannot be reduced by taking average of many readings.
Zero error is an example of systematic errors.
Systematic errors can be reduced by the
following methods:
⎯
By fixing the instrument
⎯
By using a different instrument
⎯
By using a different method
The figure on the right is an example of
systematic error. All the measured values are
away from the true value by the same
amount.
Zero error
Zero error is defined as the condition where a measuring instrument registers a
reading when there should not be any reading. In case of vernier calipers it occurs
when a zero on main scale does not coincide with a zero on vernier scale. The zero
error may be of two types: when the scale is towards numbers greater than zero it is
positive; else negative.
The method to correct for a zero error is to use the formula
𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝐴𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑔𝑔 = 𝑀𝑀𝑟𝑟𝐴𝐴𝑚𝑚𝐴𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝐴𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑔𝑔 − (𝑧𝑧𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑧𝑧 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑧𝑧𝑟𝑟)
If the zero error is positive, then it is subtracted from the measured reading and if
the error is negative it is added to the measured reading.

Random Error
⎯
Random errors are neither consistent
in magnitude nor in sign.
⎯
They can be reduced by taking an
average of many readings.
Errors caused by environmental factors e.g.,
air currents, variations in temperature or
pressure, human reaction time etc. are
examples of random errors.
The figure on the right is an example of random error. The measurements are
evenly scattered around the true graph.

Precision and Accuracy
A set of reading is said to have good precision if all the readings are close to each
other (even if the mean value is far from the true value).
•
•
The smaller the random error the higher the precision.
Precision in a reading is judged by the number of decimal places. For e.g.,
5.21 ±0.01 is more precise than 5.2 ±0.1.
A set of readings is said to have good accuracy if the mean value is close to the true
value (even if the readings are not close to each other).
•
•
The smaller the systematic error more accurate the readings
A large systematic error will shift all the readings away and therefore the
mean value will be very far from the true value.

1. Steel rule can be read to the nearest millimetre it is used to measure the
length of a bar whose true length is 895 mm repeated measurements give
the following readings:
length /mm
892, 891, 892, 891, 891, 892
a) Are the readings accurate and precise to within 1 mm?
b) Are the readings precise to within 1 mm?
c) Are the readings accurate to within 1 mm?
Solution: To check the accuracy, we see how far is the mean value from the true
value.
Mean value = 891.5 mm
True value = 895 mm
Difference = 895 mm − 891.5 mm
= 3.5 mm
Therefore, the readings are not accurate to within 1 mm.
To check the precision, we see the maximum deviation of the reading from the
mean value.
The mean value is 891.5 mm
Max value = 892mm
Mean value = 891.5 mm
Max deviation = 892 mm − 891.5 mm
= 0.5 mm
Therefore, the readings are precise to 1 millimetre, so the correct answer is b.

CALIBRATION
The act of comparing an instrument to a known standard is calibrating it. For e.g. if
you take a long wooden stick and use a standard metre rule to mark graduations on
it, that wooden stick is now calibrated to measure length.
Calibration curve
These can be used to find out an unknown quantity by using another quantity.
For e.g., the rotation of a dial (in degrees) can be used to measure pressure. The fig.
below shows the calibration curve for that dial.
In this particular case the advantage of
this curve is that, this dial will be more
sensitive at lower pressures and its
disadvantage is that it is less sensitive
at higher pressure.
In other word the needle would rotate
more at lower pressures (let’s say
going from 0 to 1 pascals) and less at
higher pressures (let’s say going from 8
to 9 pascals).

Case 1: Linear motion with uniform (constant) velocity
Since the velocity is constant, the acceleration is zero. The body covers the same
distance in each second. Since the direction of motion is not changing, the velocitytime graph is the same as the speed-time graph. The magnitude of the velocity is
constant.

Since the velocity is the gradient of the displacement-time graph, a constant velocity
means that the gradient of the displacement-time graph is constant, i.e. the
displacement increases at a steady rate.
Since there is no change in direction of motion of the body, the displacement-time
graph is the same as the distance time graph.

Case 2: Linear motion with uniform acceleration

Increasing velocity means the gradient of displacement-time graph increases. i.e. the

SIR SAMEER UZ ZAMAN
Notes:
Case 3: Linear motion with uniform (constant) deceleration
When a body is decelerating, the velocity and acceleration have opposite directions,
and therefore they have a opposite signs. If we take velocity as positive, we must
take acceleration as negative. But if we decide to take acceleration as positive, then
the velocity must be negative. In short, the important thing to remember is that in
case of deceleration, velocity and acceleration have opposite signs.
Summary:
69 of 223
Here we are taking velocity as positive and acceleration as negative. Thus
acceleration graph is a horizontal negative straight line.
Constant deceleration means the gradient of the velocity-time graph is constant,
which means that the speed decreases at a steady rate.
SIR SAMEER UZ ZAMAN
Notes:
Summary:
70 of 223
Decreasing velocity means the gradient of the displacement-time graph becomes
less and less steep with time. In other words, since the object is slowing down its
displacement increases at a dropping rate.
Since the object is moving in a straight line without any change in direction, the
displacement-time graphs are the same similarly the velocity-time graph and the
speed-time graphs are identical.
Equations of motion
These equations are valid only for linear motion with constant acceleration, i.e. for
case 2 and case 3.

Combining Case 2 and Case 3 (Vertical motion under
gravity)
A cricket ball is thrown vertically upwards. It reaches the highest point and returns
to the throwers hand. Considering the effect of air resistance to be negligible, sketch
the s-t the, v-t and a-t graphs for the motion of the ball. (take upward positive.)
Since the upward direction is taken as positive, the acceleration due to gravity will
be negative because it always points downwards. The magnitude of the acceleration
is constant because the air resistance is negligible.
The velocity is positive in the upward motion, and negative in the downward
motion. The speed decreases in the upward motion and increases in the downward
motion. Since the acceleration is constant, the gradient of the velocity-time graph
will be constant i.e. the velocity time graph will be a straight line with a gradient
equal to -9.81 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 2 .

The ball is thrown vertically upwards at t = 0, with a velocity u. At t = t1 , the ball
reaches the highest point where it momentarily comes to rest. From t = 0 to t = t1 ,
the speed decreases until it becomes zero at the maximum height. After t = t1 the
body moves downwards with an increasing speed. The direction of the velocity is
downwards, and therefore the sign of the velocity is negative. At t= t2 , the ball is
caught by the thrower.
From t = 0 to t = t1 , the ball is slowing, therefore the displacement increases at a
decreasing rate. In the downward motion from t = t1 to t = t2 , the displacement
decreases at an increasing rate.
Since the direction of motion is changing, speed time graph is different from the
velocity time graph, and the distance time graph is different from the displacement
time graph.

Rebounding or Bouncing
A steel ball is dropped from a height above the hard horizontal surface. The ball
bounces several times before coming to rest. Ignoring the effect of air resistance,
sketch the acceleration-time graph, velocity-time graph, displacement-time and
speed-time graphs for the motion of the ball. (Take upwards as positive).
Acceleration time graph
When the ball is not in contact with the surface, the acceleration of the ball is the
acceleration due to gravity which always points downwards and has a constant
magnitude. thus, when the ball is not in contact with the surface, its acceleration is
-9.81 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 −2 regardless of how the ball is moving.
When the ball hits the surface, it experiences a large upward force from the surface
which momentarily changes the direction (and magnitude) of acceleration. So we
see “spikes” in the graph for those short periods when the ball is in contact with the
surface. At other times, the acceleration remains constant at -9.81 𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 −2 .
Velocity-time graph
As the ball is dropped at t=0 (with initial velocity zero) it gains a downward velocity.
Thus, the sign of the velocity is negative and the speed increases at a steady rate
(because the acceleration is constant). At t=t1 the ball hits the surface and the
direction of the velocity reverses suddenly. The ball then begins to rise and the
speed decreases at a steady rate util it becomes zero at t=t2 when the ball reaches
maximum height after the first bounce. The ball then starts to move down. The

velocity of the ball becomes negative, and the speed increases until it hits the
surface for the second time at t=t3
Notice that all slant lines are parallel as they all have the same gradient -9.81𝑚𝑚𝑚𝑚 −2
Displacement-time graph
Speed-time graph
Let’s sketch first the velocity time graph for one bounce only.
Since the speed is always positive, the speed-time graph can be obtained by flipping
the negative part of the velocity-time graph.

the time for the object to move from the ground to the highest point is equal to the
time for it to move from the highest point back to the ground.
Since the motion is not linear, we can’t use the equations of motion directly. The
important thing to note is that as the object moves it covers the horizontal distance
as well as vertical distance. In other words, projectile motion is a combination of
horizontal and vertical motions.
In the absence of air resistance, the horizontal part of the motion and the vertical
part of the motion are independent of each other, and therefore can be studied
separately using equations of motion.

Half-projectile motion
An object is projected horizontally from a height with a velocity “u”. The motion of
the object is shown below. (Effect of air resistance is negligible).
In the absence of air resistance, the horizontal part of the motion and the vertical
part of the motion are independent of each other, and therefore can be studied
separately using equations of motion. For the vertical motion we can consider the
object to be falling from rest i.e., its initial vertical velocity is going to be zero.

Definition of mass
Mass is the property of a body that resists change in motion.
Weight
It is the force with which gravity attracts an object. This force is considered to act on
the center of gravity of the object. Mathematically it is the product of mass and the
acceleration of freefall.
= 𝑚𝑚𝑔𝑔
First law of motion
An object at rest will stay at rest and an object moving with constant velocity will
continue to move at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
-
This law describes object with no net force or where all forces on the object
are balanced.
-
Since there are no net forces acting on the object it will not accelerate.

Second law of Newton
The resultant force acting on an object is equal to the rate of change of its
momentum. The resultant force and the change in momentum are in the same
direction.
This statement defines what we mean by a force. Force is an interaction that causes
an object’s momentum to change. So, if an object’s momentum is changing, there
must be a force acting on it.

SIR SAMEER UZ ZAMAN

Where ‘𝐴𝐴’ is the initial velocity of the object, ‘𝑎𝑎’ is the final velocity of the object and
‘ 𝐴𝐴’ is the time taken for the change in velocity. The mass m of the object is
constant; hence the above equation can be rewritten as:
𝐹𝐹𝑛𝑛

𝑎𝑎 − 𝐴𝐴
∆𝐴𝐴
since
𝐴𝐴 =

So,
The equation we used above, F = ma, is a simplified version of Newton’s second law
of motion. For a body of constant mass, its acceleration is directly proportional to
the resultant force applied to it.

Objects on an inclined plane
When an object is placed on an
inclined plane it will naturally slide
down the slope, and the greater the
slope the faster it slides down. This
is due to the weight of the object
being pulled down due to gravity.
But not all of its weight is
responsible for this sliding motion,
only a component of it is
responsible. This can be illustrated
by resolving the weight of the object with respect to the inclined plane. The weight
of the object act vertically downward we can resolve the weight into two
components, component of weight that is perpendicular to the slope.
= 𝑚𝑚𝑔𝑔 cos
And component of weight that is parallel to the slope also known as component of
weight down the slope.

Frictional and Viscous drag forces
When an object moves on a surface friction acts on it and when an object moves
through a fluid for e.g., air or water drag force acts on it. Both of these forces act in
the opposite direction of motion.
Drag forces increase the faster an object moves, so an object accelerating through a
fluid will eventually reach terminal velocity. As the drag force increases and
becomes equal to the forward accelerating force.
Falling under gravity with air resistance (terminal velocity)
As an object falls down its acceleration is ‘g’ however, the object is falling under air
resistance so as the velocity increases the acceleration decreases because the net
force (𝐹𝐹𝑛𝑛 = 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑔𝑔ℎ𝐴𝐴 − 𝐴𝐴𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟 𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑚𝑚𝑟𝑟𝑚𝑚𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴𝑟𝑟𝐴𝐴𝑟𝑟) decreases. As the object continues to
increase its velocity the air resistance also continues to increase. Eventually the air
resistance becomes as large as the weight of the object and net force on it becomes
zero and it reaches terminal velocity.

Newton’s third law
When two bodies interact, the forces they exert on each other are equal and
opposite.
These two forces are sometimes described as action and reaction, but this is
misleading as it sounds as though one force arises as a consequence of the other. In
fact, the two forces appear at the same time and we can’t say that one caused the
other.
The two forces which make up a ‘Newton’s third law pair’ have the following
characteristics:

Notes:
They act on different objects.
They exist for the same amount of time.
They are equal in magnitude.
They are opposite in direction.
They are forces of the same type. Same type of forces can mean that:
 Two objects may attract each other because of the gravity of their masses –
these are gravitational forces.
 Two objects may attract or repel because of their electrical charges –
electrical forces.
 Two objects may touch – contact forces.
 Two objects may be attached by a string and pull on each other – tension
forces.
 Two objects may attract or repel because of their magnetic fields – magnetic
forces.
Summary:
129 of 223
For example, if there are two objects A and B. If these objects collide with each
other the object A will exert a force on object B and object B will exert a force on
object A. (these forces are contact forces)
These forces will be equal in magnitude, opposite in direction and will exist for the
same amount of time (the time that they are in contact with each other).
In the above example an object A is colliding with another object B, as they collide
with each other they exert a force on one another during this collision. FAB is the
force on object A applied by object B and FBA is the force on object B applied by
object A. These forces exist only during the collision hence they exist for the same
amount of time, these forces are on different objects and equal in magnitude.
Note: We can use the third law to prove law of conservation of momentum or use
the law of conservation of momentum to prove third law.

Principle/law of conservation of momentum
1. In a closed system (i.e., no external force is acting on the system)
2. The total momentum always remains constant.
This can also apply to colliding bodies, in that case total momentum before the
collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision.
Types of collisions
For all types of collisions Momentum and total energy are always conserved.
Elastic collision
These collisions have the following properties: •
•
Kinetic energy is conserved (KE before and after the collision is the same)
Speed of approach is equal to the speed of separation.
Speed of approach and speed of separation is determined as follows:
•
•
If the objects are moving in opposite direction, then their speeds are added.
If the objects are moving in the same direction, then their speeds are
subtracted.
To check if the collision is elastic or not, we can use two methods.
Method 1
Find total KE before the collision and compare it to the total KE after the collision. If
they are equal, then the collision is elastic otherwise it’s not.
Method 2
Find speed of approach and the speed of separation if they are equal, then the
collision is elastic otherwise it’s not.

Oblique collisions/2D collisions
m1 has momentum, and this is in the forward direction. During the
collision, this momentum is shared between the two masses. We can see this
because each has a component of velocity in the forward direction.
At the same time, each ball gains momentum in the y-direction, because each has a
y-component of velocity. These must be equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction, otherwise we would conclude that momentum had been created out of
nothing. The mass m1 moves at a greater angle, but its velocity is less than that of
the mass m2.

Center of gravity
The centre of gravity of an object is defined as the point where its entire weight
appears to act.
Turning effect of force / Moment of a force
The quantity which tells us about the turning
effect of a force is its moment. The moment of
a force depends on two quantities:
•
•
The magnitude of the force (the bigger
the force, the greater its moment)
The perpendicular distance of the force from the pivot (the further the force
acts from the pivot, the greater its moment).
The moment of a force is defined as follows: The moment of a force is equal to the
product of force and perpendicular distance of the pivot from the line of action of the
force. Mathematically,
𝑀𝑀𝑧𝑧𝑚𝑚𝑟𝑟𝑟𝑟𝐴𝐴𝑚𝑚 = 𝐹𝐹. 𝑟𝑟
Moment is a vector quantity. SI unit is Nm.
Line of action
It is a geometric representation of how the force is applied. It is the line through the
point at which the force is applied in the direction of force.
If the force is not perpendicular to the surface, then there are two methods to find
moment

For this condition, first we draw the line of
action of the force and then we find the
perpendicular distance by drawing a

action of the force. Then the moment is given
by force multiplied by the perpendicular distance.

We can also find the component of the force that is perpendicular to the distance.

Upthrust
=
(Archimedes’ principle)
It is a force exerted by fluid when an
object is immersed in it completely or
partially.
This force is exerted because of the
difference in pressure at the top and
bottom. Pressure on the top is less
than the pressure at the bottom,
because top is closer to the surface it
experiences less pressure than the
bottom which is at a greater depth.
The pressure on the sides do not matter because the pressure on either side is equal
so they cancel out.
So, the upthrust is caused by the difference of the two forces.

The formula above shows that the Upthrust is dependent on the volume of the
object immersed (fully or partially) in the fluid.
If the object is fully immersed, then at any depth (be it closer to the surface or at the
very bottom) the Upthrust remains the same.
Upthrust is simply equal to the weight of the liquid displaced by the immersed

Work done into KE
If a force F is applied on an object, it will accelerate and cover some displacement.
During this acceleration velocity will go from ‘u’ to ‘v’ as it travels a displacement ‘s’
If the surface is smooth then

Change in shape, volume, or size due to an applied force is called deformation.
These forces can be compressive or tensile (caused by tension).
Tensile and compressive force

Experiment to determine the Young Modulus
•
To measure the Young Modulus of a metal in the form of a wire requires a
clamped horizontal wire over a pulley (or vertical wire attached to the
ceiling with a mass attached) as shown in the diagram below
•
A reference marker is needed on the wire. This is used to accurately
measure the extension with the applied load
The independent variable is the load
The dependent variable is the extension
•
•
Method
1. Measure the original length of the wire using a metre ruler and mark this
reference point with tape
2. Measure the diameter of the wire with micrometer screw gauge or digital
calipers
3. Measure or record the mass or weight used for the extension e.g. 300 g
4. Record initial reading on the ruler where the reference point is
5. Add mass and record the new scale reading from the metre ruler
6. Record final reading from the new position of the reference point on the
ruler
7. Add another mass and repeat method

Take pairs of readings of the diameter right angles to each other, to
ensure the wire is circular
Six to ten readings altogether is enough to get an average value
Remove the load and check the wire returns to the original limit
after each reading. A little 'creep' is acceptable but a large amount
indicates that the elastic limit has been exceeded
Take several readings with different loads and find average
Use a Vernier scale to measure the extension of the wire

Effective spring constant
In Series: let’s consider two springs in
series, force on both the springs remain
the same since they are supporting the
same weight.
The total extension in series is the sum of
extension of each spring, since the
weight ‘W’ causes the spring 1 to extend
by an extension of ‘e’ and in the same
way the weight ‘W’ causes spring 2 extends by an extension of ‘e’ as well. So, the
total extension in this case is 2e
The combined spring constant in fig(A) is ½ k (it is the reciprocal of the total
extension). The combined spring constant in series is given by:
1
=
1
+

+
2
In Parallel: Force is equally divided among both the springs.
The total extension in parallel is equal to the individual extension of a spring. This is
because the weight W is divided among the two springs so each one of them
supports only ½ W so the extension in this case it is ½ e for both of them and the
total extension of the system is also ½ e. The combined spring constant in (B) is 2k
(the reciprocal of the total extension). In general, the combined spring constant is
given by

Elastic and plastic deformation
Elastic deformation happens when force is applied it changes the length, shape, size

original length, shape, size or dimensions.
The figure on the right shows a stressstrain graph for an elastic
deformation. Note while loading and
the energy is stored as Strain Energy
and while unloading it is released
back. The loading and unloading
curve/line follows the same path,
showing that all the energy stored was

Plastic deformation occurs when force is
removed and the object does not return
to its original length, there is a permanent
deformation in its length, shape, size or
dimensions. The fig on the right shows
that loading and unloading curves do not
follow the same path. Meaning that
energy stored is not equal to the energy
released. The difference in the energies is
the work done in order to cause
permanent deformation.

NOTE: The slope of the unloading line is same as the loading line. This is because the
slope represents Young’s modulus (only in the region where stress strain) and it is
a material property hence it will not change even after there has been a permanent
deformation of the material.
