- Compressible.
(FA) pressure (Pa) = ?
Force (N) /Area (m^2)
(hdg) Pressure (Pa) = ?
h (m) x density(kg/m^3) x g (9.8N/kg)
distance (m) = ?
v (m/s) x t (s)
acceleration (m/s/s) = ?
change in velocity (m/s) / time (s)
inertia -
Newtons third law -
- an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force.
- for every action there is and equal and opposite reaction.
(MA) force (N) = ?

1/f (Hz)
Measure speed of wave using…
Speed of wave (m/s) =?
- ripple tank.
f (Hz) x wavelength (m)
Angle of incidence always equal to…
- angle of reflection.
sound wave is a…
range of human hearing is…
- longitudinal wave.
- 20Hz to 20KHz.
speed (m/s) = ?
distance (m) / time (s)
P waves -
S waves -
- primary waves (longitudinal, travel through solids and liquids)
- secondary waves (transverse waves, only go through solids).
Diffraction happens when…
- a wave passes through a gap. The wave will curve around as it comes out of the gap. The gap determines the curvature.
refraction happens when a wave…
- passes from one medium into another medium, such as air into glass. It will change direction because the wave changes speeds.

- Dark, matt.
- Dark, matt.
- Shiny.

wire and field lines are parallel.
magnetic flux density -
amount of magnetic flux in a certain area.
force (N) = MFD (T) x current (A) x length (m)
