Physics Recall Part 1 - Laws

This document summarizes several important laws of physics, including Newton's Laws of Motion, Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion, Boyle's Law, Charles' Law, Gay-Lussac's Law, Snell's Law, Hooke's Law, Ohm's Law, Faraday's Law, and Lenz's Law. It states the key relationship or principle described by each law, such as Newton's Second Law relating the rate of change of momentum to the applied force, Boyle's Law relating gas pressure and volume at constant temperature, and Ohm's Law relating current, potential difference, and resistance in a conductor.

Physics Recall

LAWS OF PHYSICS

NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION

An object will remain at rest or


move at uniform velocity unless
acted upon by an external force

NEWTON’S SECOND LAW OF MOTION

Rate of change of momentum is


directly proportional to the force
and acts in the direction of the
applied force

NEWTON’S THIRD LAW OF MOTION

For every action, there is a reaction


of equal magnitude, but in the
opposite direction

NEWTON’S UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION

The gravitational force between two bodies is


directly proportional to the produce of the
masses of both bodies and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance
between the centres of the two bodies.

KEPLER’S FIRST LAW (LAW OF ORBITS)

All planets move in elliptical orbits with the


Sun at one focus.

KEPLER’S SECOND LAW(LAW OF AREAS)

A line that connects a planet to the Sun


sweeps out equal areas in equal times.

LAWS OF PHYSICS

KEPLER’S THIRD LAW(LAW OF PERIODS)

The square of the orbital period of any


planet is directly proportional to the cube of
the radius of its orbit

BOYLE’S LAW

Pressure is inversely proportional to volume for a fixed


mass of gas at constant temperature.

CHARLES’ LAW

Volume is directly proportional to absolute temperature


for a fixed mass of gas at constant pressure.

GAY-LUSSAC’S LAW

Pressure is directly proportional to absolute temperature


of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume.

SNELL’S LAW

The refractive index of medium one times the sine of angle


of incidence of medium one is equal to the refractive index
of medium two times the sine of angle of refraction of
medium two.

HOOKE’S LAW

The extension of spring is directly


proportional to the force acting on it
provided the elastic limit is not exceeded.

LAWS OF PHYSICS

OHM’S LAW

The electric current flowing through an


ohmic conductor is directly proportional to the
potential difference across its end, provided
that the temperature of the conductor and its
other physical factors remain constant

FARADAY’S LAW

The magnitude of induced e.m.f. is always


directly proportional to the rate of cutting of
magnetic flux.

LENZ’S LAW

The induced current always flows in a


direction that opposes the change of magnetic
flux that causes it.
