Mastering IGCSE Physics: Essential Concepts and Equations

📏Volume is measured using a measuring cylinder, while distance and time are measured using appropriate measuring tools.

🔢The average value of a short distance or time interval is calculated by adding all measurements and dividing by the number of measurements.

⏲️Interval of time is measured using a clock, stopwatch, or digital clock, with analog and digital options available.

📐Calculating the average value of a distance or time requires multiple measurements, followed by adding and dividing by the number of measurements.

🔍Resultant force is the combined effect of all forces acting on an object, and can be calculated by adding or subtracting individual forces.

What are the main tools used for measuring volume and distance?

—Volume can be measured using a measuring cylinder, while distance can be measured using a meter ruler or centimeter ruler.

How do we measure the interval of time?

—The interval of time can be measured using a clock, stopwatch, or digital clock, depending on the required level of precision.

How do we calculate the average value of a short distance or time interval?

—To calculate the average value, measure the distance or time multiple times, then add all the measurements together and divide by the number of measurements.

What is resultant force and how is it calculated?

—Resultant force is the combined effect of all forces acting on an object. It can be calculated by adding or subtracting individual forces, taking into account their directions.

What is free fall and what causes it?

—Free fall is the state of an object falling towards the earth under the influence of gravity. Gravity is responsible for the acceleration of free fall.
