how to remember physic equations
how to remember physic equations
Nm = N x m
It also works vice versa for remembering units, although remember that there are exceptions to this (eg Energy and Joules)
Other than that, I find just reciting them over helps as many are short and snappy in a way (?)
Ek = 1/2 mv^2
P=IV
etc

is the vena cava a vein or artery?
is the vena cava a vein or artery?
Bit of extra insight beyond GCSE knowledge is that the vena cava is actually split into an Inferior VC and a Superior VC

I would definitely recommend the units of everything as often things such as mass may not be given to you in kilograms so watch out for that!

Also, why when you flip a switch closed on does the resistance in a circuit increase? Think that came up in one of the mocks and I didn’t really get it, would really appreciate it if you could help

So current and pd (voltage) are related by ohms law:
V=IR
This means when resistance is constant, as voltage increases so does the current (it’s actually directly proportional).
Basically think of the pd as the force making the electrons go around the circuit, and the current as how fast the electrons are flowing. If you apply more of the force (pd) which makes the electrons go round the circuit, the electrons will flow faster (current).
So as pd increases the current does.
Hope that helps!

I struggle to see how pd and current relate, could you please explain?

If resistance stays constant then as current increases, voltage increases proportionally.
If potential difference increases then current increases.

A switch does not increase resistance. A switch breaks the circuit, so when a switch is open, the circuit is broken and no current flows, but when it is closed, the current can flow. It doesn’t affect resistance at all!

Acid: a substance with a pH of less than 7 from which a Hydrogen ion (H+) can dissociate easily (this process is called protonation)

don't even understand what it's asking

Ok, so V = IR, where V = potential difference, I = current and R = resistance
If resistance stays constant then as current increases, voltage increases proportionally.
If potential difference increases then current increases.
