Revision sheets for IGCSE or GCSE physics.
This series revision sheets are based on the IGCSE & GCSE syllabuses.
Lots of formulas, definitions and key points to learn off.
There are also accompanying test sheets to check your memorisation. 

The idea is read the information and than print the quiz sheet and try the questions.

Physics exercise

Revision Exercise six:

Solids, liquids and gases

Units

unit of temperature : degrees Celsius (oC), kelvin (K),

unit of density kilogram/metre 3 (kg/m3)

unit of pressure, pascal (Pa)

Density and pressure

density = mass / volume

ρ = m / V

pressure = force / area

p = F / A

 

Change of state

a substance can change state from solid to liquid by the process of melting

a substance can change state from liquid to gas by the process of evaporation or boiling

particles in a liquid have a random motion within a close-packed structure

particles in a solid vibrate about fixed positions within a close-packed regular structure

nucleus

    Ideal gas molecules

    Brownian motion, is random motion caused by the random motion of air molicules.

    molecules in a gas have a random motion and that they exert a force and hence a pressure on the walls of the container

    there is an absolute zero of temperature which is – 273 oC

    the kelvin temperature = the Celsius temperature + 273

    an increase in temperature results in an increase in the speed of gas molecules

    the kelvin temperature of the gas is proportional to the average kinetic energy of its molecules

    for a gas in a sealed container when the kelvin temperature increases the pressure increases.

    the relationship between the pressure and kelvin temperature of a fixed mass of gas at constant volume:

    p1/ T1 = p2/ T2

    the relationship between pressure and volume of a fixed mass of gas at constant temperature

    p1V1 = p2V2

Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity.
