Chapter 7 Gravitation

Physics Part II

Chapter 8 Mechanical Properties Of Solids

Chapter 9 Mechanical Properties Of Fluids

Chapter 10 Thermal Properties Of Matter

Chapter 11 Thermodynamics

Chapter 12 Kinetic Theory

Chapter 13 Oscillations

Chapter 14 Waves

CHAPTER 1: UNITS AND MEASUREMENTS

In the chapter, you shall learn the process of measuring physical quantities, the use of SI units, and the effect of errors on measurements. It also presents the idea of significant figures and dimensional analysis to test formulas and draw new relations.

CHAPTER 2: MOTION IN A STRAIGHT LINE

In this case, you will come to know the description of the motions along a straight line with the help of graphs, equations, and calculus. Position, displacement, velocity, acceleration, and uniformly accelerated motion are discussed.

CHAPTER 3: MOTION IN A PLANE

This chapter is devoted to 2-dimensional motion, vector algebra, the real-life applications, such as projectile motion and uniform circular motion. You will also learn about additive and subtractive vectors and resolving vectors into components.

CHAPTER 4: LAWS OF MOTION

Mechanics are based on the three laws by Newton. You will study such concepts as inertia, momentum, equilibrium and friction. Applications, like motion in lifts, tension in strings, and dynamics of circular motion, are also addressed.

CHAPTER 5: WORK, ENERGY AND POWER

This chapter defines work in physics, the connection between kinetic and potential energy and the principle of conservation of energy. You will also see about power and collisions (elastic and inelastic).

CHAPTER 6: SYSTEM OF PARTICLES AND ROTATIONAL MOTION

Learn about the movement of a collection of particles, the centre of mass, torque, angular momentum and conservation laws. You will also know the rotational motion of rigid bodies and the concept of the moment of inertia, with examples such as rolling motion.

CHAPTER 7: GRAVITATION

This chapter concerns the law of gravity as discovered by Newton, the change of depth and height of gravity and the movement of planets through the Kepler laws. You will learn about satellite motion, about escape velocity, and orbital velocity.

CHAPTER 8: MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF SOLIDS

This is where you will learn about stress, strain, the law of Hooke and elastic moduli. That is why when a solid is stressed, it distorts and comes back to its former shape when the stress is taken away.

CHAPTER 9: MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF FLUIDS

The law of Pascal, the law of buoyancy, the principle of viscosity and the principle of surface tension are presented in this chapter. The uses are aeroplane flying, blood circulation in veins and the ascent of liquid in a capillary tube.

CHAPTER 10: THERMAL PROPERTIES OF MATTER

You will learn about the expansion of substances upon heating, specific heat capacity, calorimetry, change of state (latent heat), and ways of transferring heat- conduction, convection and radiation.

CHAPTER 11: THERMODYNAMICS

Study the Zeroth, First and Second laws of Thermodynamics, heat engines and efficiency of the Carnot cycle. This chapter makes you aware of the interrelation between heat and work.

CHAPTER 12: KINETIC THEORY OF GASES

This chapter defines the molecular nature of gases, the kinetic theory assumptions, the pressure of a gas, the mean free path and how gas laws such as the Boyle and Charles laws are derived from the molecular theory.

CHAPTER 13: OSCILLATIONS

You will learn about simple harmonic motion (SHM), the equations of SHM, energy conversion in SHM, damped and forced oscillation, and resonance. The real-life examples are pendulums and springs.

CHAPTER 14: WAVES

In the chapter, various forms of waves (longitudinal and transverse), the concept of superposition, the creation of standing waves, beats are described.
