Newton's Laws of Motion

1. An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force (Law of
Inertia).
2. Force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).
3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Laws of Thermodynamics

1. Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed (First Law).


2. The total entropy of a system always increases in a spontaneous process (Second Law).
3. Absolute zero is unattainable (Third Law).

Light and Optics

Light behaves both as a wave and a particle (wave-particle duality).


Reflection: Light bounces off a surface. Refraction: Light bends when passing through different
media.
Tip: Learn Snell's law for calculating refraction angles.

Motion

 Types of Motion:
1. Uniform Motion: An object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.
2. Non-Uniform Motion: An object covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time.
 Equations of Motion:
1. v=u+atv = u + atv=u+at
2. s=ut+12at2s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2s=ut+21at2
3. v2=u2+2asv^2 = u^2 + 2asv2=u2+2as
Where vvv = final velocity, uuu = initial velocity, aaa = acceleration, sss =
displacement, ttt = time.

Force and Laws of Motion

 Newton's Laws:
1. First Law (Law of Inertia): An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless
acted upon by an external force.
2. Second Law: Force = mass × acceleration (F=maF = maF=ma).
3. Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
 Momentum: Momentum (ppp) = mass (mmm) × velocity (vvv)

o Conservation of Momentum: Total momentum before and after collision remains


constant.

Work, Energy, and Power

 Work: Work is done when a force is applied, and the object moves in the direction of
the force.
Formula: W=F⋅d⋅cos⁡θW = F \cdot d \cdot \cos \thetaW=F⋅d⋅cosθ (where θ\thetaθ is
the angle between force and displacement).
 Energy:
1. Kinetic Energy: Energy due to motion, KE=12mv2KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2KE=21mv2.
2. Potential Energy: Energy due to position, PE=mghPE = mghPE=mgh.

 Power: Rate of doing work, P=WtP = \frac{W}{t}P=tW. Unit: Watt (W).

Light and Optics

 Reflection: Bouncing back of light from a surface. Laws of reflection:


1. Angle of incidence = Angle of reflection.
2. The incident ray, reflected ray, and normal lie in the same plane.

 Refraction: Bending of light when it passes from one medium to another.

o Snell's Law: sin⁡isin⁡r=n2n1\frac{\sin i}{\sin r} = \frac{n_2}{n_1}sinrsini=n1n2 (where


n1,n2n_1, n_2n1,n2 are refractive indices).

Electricity

 Ohm’s Law: Voltage (VVV) = Current (III) × Resistance (RRR)


o Unit of resistance: Ohm (Ω\OmegaΩ).
 Power: P=VI=I2R=V2RP = VI = I^2R = \frac{V^2}{R}P=VI=I2R=RV2.
