Physics Notes – Important Definitions and Laws – Static Science GK Material for Competitive exams

Important Definitions and Laws ⦁ CAPILLARITY – When a capillary tube is dipped in a liquid, liquid ascends or descends in a capillary tube. This phenomenon is called capillarity. ⦁ VISCOSITY – The property of a liquid by virtue of which it opposes the relative motion between its different layers is called viscosity. ⦁ ELASTICITY – The property of material...

Important Definitions and Laws of Physics ⦁ WORK – If a body gets displaced when a force acts on it, work is said to be done. Work is measured by product of force and displacement of the body along the direction of force. ⦁ Work is scalar quantity and its SI unit is joule. ⦁ ENERGY – Capacity of doing...

Important Definitions and Laws of Physics SCALAR QUANTITIES – Physical quantities which have magnitude only and no direction are called scalar quantities. E.g. : Mass, speed, volume, work. VECTOR QUANTITIES – Physical quantities which have magnitude and direction both and obey triangle law are called vector quantities. E.g. : Displacement, velocity, acceleration. DISTANCE – Distance is the length of actual...
