The fundamental unit of electricity is 'charge'. Each electron is slightly negatively charged and it is this movement of charge around a circuit which powers our appliances. The speed of the electrons/the...

Newtons First Law:An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in constant motion unless acted upon by a resultant force
Newtons Second Law:F=ma
Newtons Third Law:If o...

Kepler's third law states that the square of the period of any planet is proportional to the cube of its orbital radius.To derive it, two equations are required: F=GMm/r^2 and F = mv^2/r. These are Newton...

The photoelectric effect is one of the first pieces of experimental evidence of quantum mechanical phenomena. It describes how a material absorbs light and result in emission of electrons. Using a classic...

Using the equation Q = mcT, where Q represents energy in Joules, m represents mass in kg, c represents specific heat capacity measure in joules kg^-1 K^-1 and lastly, T represents the ...
