Theme 1: On the Move
-
Energy
-
-
-
Principal of conservation of energy: energy cannot be created nor destroyed; it can only be transferred from one form to another
-
-
-
Momentum
-
-
The concept of conservation of momentum: the total momentum before a collision is equal to the total momentum after a collision provided that no external force is acting.
-
Newton's First Law
An object remains stationary or moving at a constant speed/velocity provided that it is not acted upon by an external extra force.
-
-
Newton's Second Law
If an object is acted upon by an external force, then the object moves in the direction of the force.
-
Example: it is easier to push an empty shopping cart than a full one because the empty one has less mass and therefore requires less acceleration and thus, less force.

Energy Sources
Renewable
-
Solar
Solar panels absorb radiant energy from the sun and use it to heat water or produce electricity directly.
Large area, solar panels are expensive, variable amounts of sunshine

-
-
-
-
-
Non-Renewable
-
-
Nuclear Fuels
-
-
Very dangerous waste, expensive to build and close down, high safety standards
-
Newton's Third Law
For every action force, there is an opposite and equal reaction force.
Example: as a chair pushes down on the ground (weight), so does the earth on the chair (reaction)
