Pearson BTEC • Physics

These are my own notes take in class. It has the structure and function of the lymphatic system and what happens at the arterial and venous end of bed.

These notes are my own taken in class. It is about how heat pumps work and has diagrams explaining it.

This document has notes on how energy is transferred, energy efficiency formula and a few questions at the end. These are my own notes taken during class.

Boyle's Law is a gas law. Pressure and volume of a gas have and inverse relationship. These are just the notes on this topic.
