Document Summary

Chapter two: einstein"s special theory of relativity 22. Chapter three: newton"s theory of gravitation 32. Chapter six: sound waves and interference 47. Galileo"s principle: two laboratories" moving at uniform relative speed, (cid:1), will describe a single physical event using the variables ((cid:3),(cid:5))and ((cid:3)(cid:7),(cid:5)(cid:7)), where: These are only valid when (cid:1) (cid:14) (i. e. (cid:1) is significantly lower than the speed of light, (cid:14)). They (cid:8)(cid:7)=(cid:8)+(cid:11)(cid:12) (cid:12)(cid:7)=(cid:12) convert mass, length and time. Seven fundamental quantities: metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, candela (measures the luminous intensity of a source emitting light of frequency (cid:16)(cid:17)(cid:18) (cid:20)(cid:18)(cid:20)(cid:21)hz that has a radiant intensity of (cid:20)(cid:22)(cid:23)(cid:24) watt per steradian) Density is the mass per unit volume. A particle is either: a point-like object, a rigid body (an object that moves such that each part travels in the same direction at the same rate (i. e. no rotation or stretching))
