PHY1012 study notes

What's Inside? This digital download contains over a dozen pages of high-quality, handwritten notes that cover a wide range of topics, including: Fluids & Fluid Dynamics: Pressure in fluids and against a surface . Pascal's Law and the Hydraulic Lift, with clear diagrams and worked examples. Buoyancy and Archimedes' Principle, including the three common cases: floating, submerged, and sinking. Manometers and Barometers, with practical examples to calculate atmospheric and gauge pressure. Fluid flow concepts like volume flow rate and the equation of continuity Elasticity: Core concepts of Stress, Strain, and Young's Modulus . Worked examples demonstrating how to calculate wire expansion and determine if a material will break. Bulk Modulus and Compressibility. Thermodynamics & Ideal Gases: The First Law of Thermodynamics with explanations Detailed breakdowns of P-V Diagrams and how to calculate work for different processes. Special cases of the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT) including Isobaric, Isochoric, Isothermal, and Adiabatic processes. Key concepts of Ideal Gases and their conditions. Why These Notes Are Different Clear, Organized Structure: Topics are logically laid out with clean headings and subheadings, making it easy to find what you need. Worked Examples: Every section includes step-by-step solutions to example problems, demonstrating how to apply formulas and theory to real-world scenarios.
