what is hooke's law? the extension of a material is proportional to the applied
force provided the limit of proportionality is not exceeded
what is hooke's law equation? F=kx <br>F= force applied N<br>k= spring
constant N/cm<br>x= extension cm
key tips about spring constant <ul><li>the spring constant is value specific
for each spring</li></ul>
what is the limit of proportionality? the last point on the graph where the
force and extension are directly proportional, beyond this point the graph begins
to curve + hooke's law no longer applies
what is the elastic limit? maximum load a specimen can experience and still
return to its original length when the applied load is removed, if the specimen
returns to its original length this is known as elastic deformation
hooke's law graph "<img src=""4-5-hookes-law-graph_edexcel-al-physics-rn.png"">"
what is the yield point? when a material stretched beyond it's elastic limit
reaches the yield point, the internal molecular structures is being permanently
altered
what is plastic deformation? once a material has exceeded its elastic limit we say
it undergoes plastic deformation - it will not return to its original length/shape

what is stress? (definition) the applied force per unit area of cross section
what is stress? (equation + measured) ø=F/A<br>it is measured in Nm<sup>-
2 </sup> or Pascals
what is ultimate tensile stress? the maximum stretching force per unit area the
material can undergo without breaking
what is strain? (definition) the strain on a material is defined as the ratio of
its extension and it's original length
what is strain? (equation + measured in?) E=∆L/L<br> this doesn't have units
what is young's modulus (definition)? ratio of stress acting on a substance to
the strain produced
what is young's modulus? (equation + measured in) E = ø/∑<br>measured a newton
per square metre (Nm<sup>-2 </sup>or Pa)
what are strain energy equations? E = .5kx<sup>2<br></sup>E = Fkx

what happens? (rutherford) a beam of alpha particles is directed at a thin gold
film in a vaccum
why does rutherfold happen in a vaccum? prevents interaction between alpha and
air particles
what happens? (general explain in nuclear) alpha particles interact with atoms
in the gold and then strikes the zinc sulphide screen causing a flash of light to
appear, this allows for deflection of alpha particles after having passed through
atoms
what happens? (thomsom's) majority of atoms would have passed through the foil
undeflected, a small number MAY have been deflected through small angles

what is nuclear decay? a process in which nuclei rearrange themselves to become
more stable by emitting radiation
what is ionisation? the loss or gain of an electron by an atom
how do decay particles lose KE after released into atmosphere <ul><li>collisions
w/particles in air causing energy to be transferred and an overall reduction in
their KE</li></ul>
why do alpha particles have a shorter range in air than the beta particle even
though it's released w/more KE <ul><li>alpha particles have a larger mass so
they travel slower than beta</li><li>alpha particles have a larger, chance to
collide w/air particles more frequently than smaller beta particles</li></ul>
