Description

Dear learner,

This module covers key concepts in Grade 10 physics, including vector quantities in Unit 1, uniformly accelerated motion in Unit 2, and elasticity and static equilibrium of rigid bodies in Unit 3. Students will explore these topics through a combination of theoretical lessons and practical examples to enhance their understanding of physics concepts and their real-world applications. We highly recommend that students bring a protractor.

1: VECTOR QUANTITIES
A vector quantity is a physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction. Examples of vector quantities include velocity, acceleration, force, and displacement. These quantities are represented by arrow. An example of a vector quantity is velocity. Velocity includes both the speed of an object (magnitude) and its direction of motion. For instance, if a car is traveling at 60 miles per hour in a northeast direction, its velocity would be represented as a vector with both magnitude (60 mph) and direction (northeast)s in diagrams to show both their size and their direction in space.

2: UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION
Uniformly accelerated motion refers to the motion of an object moving with a constant acceleration. In this type of motion, the velocity of the object changes by equal amounts in equal intervals of time. As a result, the object's speed increases or decreases at a constant rate over time. This can be described using equations such as v = u + at and s=ut+$\frac{1}{2}at^{2}$, where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration, t is time, and s is displacement. Uniformly accelerated motion can be observed in scenarios such as an object falling under gravity or a car accelerating from rest.

3: Elasticity and Static Equilibrium of Rigid Body
When studying the elasticity and static equilibrium of a rigid body, we examine how external forces affect its deformation and equilibrium. Elasticity allows us to understand how materials respond to stress and strain, while static equilibrium helps analyze how different forces interact with each other in order for an object to remain balanced.
