Physical Quantity O level

Try harder and that will lead you to places that you never know. You may not be academically inclined, but if you find a will, you will find a way.

Summary

O level Physical Quantity

- A physical quantity is a quantity that can be measured using an instrument.

- It consists of a magnitude(number) and a unit

- SI unit: International Standard of Unit

Base Quantities VS Derived Quantity

- Base: Length(m), Mass(kg), Time(s), Temperature(K), Electricity(A), Amount of Substances(mol)

-Derived- two more base quantities eg. speed(Distance/Time), Area(Length x Breadth) etc

Prefixes( required to know symbol, value)

- Tera

- Giga

- Mega

- Kilo

- Deci

- Centi

-Milli

- Micro

- Nano

Scalar quantity

- Quantity that only has magnitude but no direction

-Examples include: Distance, Time, Mass

Vector Quantity

-Quantity that has magnitude and direction

- Examples include, Displacement, Force, Acceleration

Addition of vectors- Tip to Tail or parallelogram method

Parallax Error- It is a human error that occurs due to the incorrect position of the human eye when taking a reading or when the object is not touching the markings of the scale

- Can be avoided

Instrumental Error- Error caused by Instruments such as vernier calipers or micrometer screw gauge due to instrumental fault.

- Zero Error can be deducted from the final measurement reading

Period of a simple pendulum- Time taken for one complete oscillation

Unit: seconds

Step 1: Swing the bob into oscillation, let the oscillation stabilise first

Step 2: Find the time taken 

for 20 oscillations

Step 3: Repeat for at least 3 times

Step 4: Find the average of the timings taken

Step 5: Divide the average by 20 to find out the time taken for 1 oscillation

Why is there a need to find the average/find 20 oscillation- To reduce Human Reaction Error that may occur during the taking of the readings using a stopwatch

Period of the pendulum is only affected by 

1. Length of the string

2. Gravitational field Strength

If you want something that badly in your life, do something about it instead of whining. In life, everyone is struggling with their own trouble, no one will pity you except for yourself.

Usually, the problem won't go away on its own. Stand up, Fight against it, Find a way to Win it.

You may fall again, but at least now you know that you have tried, rather than not facing it at all.

If you want the promotion in your job, earn it. Don't give yourself excuses that your boss doesn't appreciate your efforts. Don't say that your colleagues sabotage you.

If you want to achieve A1 in your studies, study hard for it. Don't tell yourself that you are weak or disinterested in that subject. Don't say you have no time.

For all the students, studying maybe a tough chore, but the attitude that you put into your education to overcome the hurdles, will guide you to your future success.

Give up or Give in.

Your choice, you decide

Education is the key to success in life, and teachers make a lasting impact in the lives of their students.

Testimonial #5

The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards.

Anatole France

Testimonial #4

The thing I loved the most - and still love the most about teaching - is that you can connect with an individual or a group, and see that individual or group exceed their limits.

Testimonial #3

Great Improvement from a 30+ for SA1 to 84.5 for SA2.

Failure is a great teacher, and I think when you make mistakes and you recover from them and you treat them as valuable learning experiences, then you've got something to share.

Testimonial #2

One looks back with appreciation to the brilliant teachers, but with gratitude to those who touched our human feelings. The curriculum is so much necessary raw material, but warmth is the vital element for the growing plant and for the soul of the child.
