A

Pressure = force / area

20
Q

What is the unit of pressure

A

Pa or N/m2

21
Q

High pressure and low pressure examples

22
Q

What is density

A

The mass of objects per unit volume

23
Q

How is density calculated

A

Density = mass / volume

24
Q

How do u find density of a irregular/regular shape object

A

Regular - calculate volume
Irregular - displacement method (volume before and after)

25
Q

What is a longitudinal wave

A

Vibrations travel in the direction of wave

26
Q

Look at wave diagram

A
27
Q

What should u do when drawing reflection I’m a plane mirror

A

Draw a normal line
Always measure from normal line to beam of light
Put direction arrows on beam of light
Angle of I=r

28
Q

I=R meaning

A

I= angle of incident
R= angle of reflection

29
Q

What happens when light travels from air into a denser medium like glass or water?

A

It refracts towards the normal

30
Q

What happens when light travels from air denser medium into air

A

It will refract away from the normal

31
Q
