Dynamics 2021

A couple of songs to start this unit. I think we should start all topics with a song.

I can’t condone where this guy is putting his hands!

Most up-to-date notes,

covering all outcomes

This is the updated version of the Dynamics booklet, updated to match the 2017 SQA changes.

The latest version February 2020

Dynamics Summary Notes

Now these appear to be called “Knowledge Organisers!” Who thinks up these fancy names?

This one is a joint effort by Miss Horn and Mrs Physics with formatting help from Mr Risbridger.

These are perfect Mind Maps by Ms Milner, thanks these are the best out!

From A Milner, these are so comprehensive

Other mind maps by Melanie Ehsan, with thanks to eSgoil (who provide lots of online materials), the first of a collection of mindmaps.

Scalars and Vectors

Speed, Velocity, Acceleration

Velocity time graphs

Newton’s Laws of Motion

With a little help from the IoP here is my updated Newton’s 3 Laws. I hope you can understand it. I’m quite scared to share it with you! The pdf will miss some detail as I’ve overlapped some images.

ENERGY

Projectiles

OTHER RESOURCES

A mixture of some notes not yet tidied up!

Here are some practice questions with worked answers and 6 to a page diagram of the sky diving graph

Let’s start with a song!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIU69nmktm8

and I’ve downloaded the lyrics and made them into a songsheet for you. Hope Jonny doesn’t charge me for copyright!

and if you like that one, then this is Physics legend

this has got lots more information on the EM Spectrum

Waves Summary Notes

These are waves summary notes I’ve produced. Hope you like them. I’d appreciate someone telling me if a photodiode can detect gamma radiation!

Revision Mind Map

This is part of a series of brilliant Mind Maps made by Miss Milner for the N5 Physics Course. I’ve broken it up into sections so here are the waves mind maps!

Here are a list of current wave resources. I will add more as I go through them. Thanks to other schools if you have kindly supplied material. I really appreciate it as do my students.

Reflection is not in the N5 Course, but it is good to know about reflection!

This is a pdf of the power point that I a using

waves-summary-notes-gairloch1 Some of these notes are for National 4, use with the content statements so you don’t spend too long learning the National 4 work.

vflambda-vdt This starts with a practical model that you can complete in class using the Virtual Physics/ Flash Learning. It then shows how v=fλ is equivalent to v=d/t. Finally some questions will let you practise what you know.

Just heard about this on twitter!

You can read about some of the risks of human spaceflight in the infographic below.

Revision Questions

Lots of people are asking me about the answers to these North Ayrshire revision check tests. Can I also recommend you pop across to the Learning Outcome Questions, which have fully worked answer. Click on the links below. No cheating though!

https://mrsphysics.co.uk/n5/category/coursematerials/lo/

Thanks to those in North Ayrshire who provided these excellent questions for you to get your teeth into. I’ll post the answers as password protected to protect those students and staff who are giving these for homework! They’re in the old order, so you’ll have to search through for the right section.

ENJOY!

Quantity Symbol, Unit and Unit Symbol

I’ve put together, with Mrs Mac’s help, a document with quantity, symbol, unit and unit symbol so that you know the meaning of the terms in the Relationships Sheet. It is in EXCEL so that you can sort it by course, quantity or symbol.

Properties of Matter Notes

Not the best fit for a Properties of Matters song, but still lots of important material here.

The Properties of Matter Booklet in both word and pdf form.

Here are a set of summary notes, I made a few changes and put them into a table rather than boxes to help the flow, not that anyone would know. Thanks to the teacher who produced these- sorry there was no name on them.

A bright 2 page set of summary notes for this topic. NB Please add to this “The length of the line for vaporisation should be longer than that for melting as more energy is required to change a liqued to a gas than a solid to a liquid.
A scribble from an online lesson. The last 2 comments are perfect answers for those “Explain using the kinetic model of gases….” questions.
Using a simple syringe will remind you of Boyle’s Law, if you reduce the volume pressure increases. I know this as it really hurts my finger when I squeeze the gas into a smaller space or volume.
just some scribbles from an online lesson. We were trying to remember which law went with which rule and this is what we came up with BOYLE’s LAW. If you had a big BOIL and you add pressure by squeezing it the volume increases as it splatters all over the place! CHARLES’ LAW, we know this guy called Charlie and when he gets red hot his face swells up (volume increases with temperature) And GAY-LUSSAC law has been incorrectly attributed to him so we can put him in a pressure cooker (picture below) and increase the temperature. The volume is fixed so we know the pressure increases as the cooker makes a big hissing sound when it’s about to blow!
Courtesy of Wikipedia

Gay-Lussac is incorrectly recognized for the Pressure Law which established that the pressure of an enclosed gas is directly proportional to its temperature and which he was the first to formulate (c. 1809). He is also sometimes credited with being the first to publish convincing evidence that shows the relationship between the pressure and temperature of a fixed mass of gas kept at a constant volume.

Maybe for the deception he should be sent to Pressure Cooker!

A Pressure Cooker

These laws are also known variously as the Pressure Law or Amontons’s law and Dalton’s law respectively.
