Physics T1 Notes (by Branson & Kasper)
Essential Formulas
𝑚 mass
• 𝜌= or density = volume
𝑣
• 𝐸 = 𝑃𝑡 or energy = power ⋅ time
• 𝐸 = 𝐶Δ𝑇 or energy = (heat capacity)(change in temperature)
• Then, we define 𝐶 = 𝑚𝑐
or heat capacity = (mass)(specific heat capacity)
• Therefore, we have 𝐸 = 𝑚𝑐Δ𝑇
• Conservation of energy (Δ𝐸𝑐𝑙𝑜𝑠𝑒𝑑 = 0)
Essential Units
• 𝑚 (𝑘𝑔)
• 𝑣 (𝑚−3 )
• ρ (𝑘𝑔 𝑚−3 )
• 𝐸(𝐽 = 𝑊𝑠 = 𝑘𝑔 𝑚2 𝑠 −2 )
• 𝑃 (𝑊 = 𝑘𝑔 𝑚2 𝑠 −3 )
• 𝑇 or Δ𝑇 (𝐾 or ∘ 𝐶)
• 𝐶 (𝑘𝑔 𝑚2 𝑠 −2 𝐾 −1 or 𝑘𝑔 𝑚2 𝑠 −2 ∘ 𝐶 −1 )
• 𝑐 (𝑚2 𝑠 −2 𝐾 −1 or 𝑚2 𝑠 −2 ∘ 𝐶 −1 )
LOL last 2 jk only
• 𝐶 (𝐽 ∘𝐶 −1 )
• 𝑐 (𝐽 𝑘𝑔−1 ∘ 𝐶 −1 )
Graph Plotting and Data Analysis
Graph plotting is relatively easy and you don’t have to worry too much about the scales
and offsets if you could master the data analysis techniques mentioned below.
Basic terminology and definitions
• coordinate plane (note that the point where 2
axes cross, the origin 𝑂, might not be (0,0))
