Energy, Conservation of
Energy is conserved in systems isolated.
Kinetic, potential and intrinsic conflated
Change its form but never destroy or create it.

Energy is conserved, therefore
½ mv2 = mgh. This reduces to v =√(2gh).
A car standing still
At the top of a hill
Has potential energy
Height times mass times g.
If the friction is nil
When it rolls down the hill
It's potential energetic
Is converted to kinetic.
At the foot of the hill
It's PE is nil
But as energy is spared
It is now ½mv2.

Mass and Weight
Bathroom scales measure the product of mass and it’s gravitational
attraction to Earth. On the moon they would show your weight as 16%
of your weight on Earth. Scales with counterbalances measure mass,
so they would show the same result on Moon or Earth.

The
moment of a force or torque is the force multiplied by the
distance of its point of application from the fulcrum.

These four examples of moments, you learn,
Are torques we apply to make something turn.

Archimedes Principle
Said the King to Archimedes “Find for sure
If the gold in my crown is pure or impure”.
“My brain is too dense to work out its density
It’s just mass over volume, that I can see”.
“We know the density of gold, that's true
And the mass of the crown, but nothing new.
How can I find its volume, that’s the rub.”
Archi solved the problem bathing in a tub.
The brimful tub overflowed when he sat
How much water flowed, he could measure that.
He jumped up and “Eureka!” shouted
That he had found it, nobody doubted.

Specific Gravity (SG)
D = M/V but SG = Dliq/Dwater .
As Dwater = 1g/cm3
the units cancel and it has no units.
Archimedes principle defines
A cargo ship’s load (by Plimsoll lines).
By knowing ship volume immersed we see
Its mass from displaced water density.
Hydrometer readings show
By how far immersed they go
Density as a ratio
To density of H2O.

Hooke’s Law

The force needed to compress or extend a spring by distance x is proportional
to x or (F = kx). In general the deformation of a body is proportional to the
force applied or stress is proportional to strain.
Elastic springs under stress
By an activating source
Will elongate or compress
In proportion to its force.

The ‘classical six’ from Renaissance times are the inclined
plane, wheel and axle, lever, pulley, wedge and screw.
Archimedes was long ago seen
Playing with a simple machine.
Lever, pulley, wedge and screw,
Wheels with axle, these he knew.
Galileo later clarified
How simple machines relied
By changing the way that force is applied,
Mechanical advantage they provide.
Falling balls,

Fell quickly to the
ground
So accurate timing

Without sophisticated
stuff.
Inclined planes

Balls decelerated.
So Gali could measure

Newton's First Law (of Motion)
Every body continues in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a
straight line unless it is acted upon by an externally impressed force.
Newton said things will
Always stay quite still
Or at constant velocity
If already moving free,
Unless an outside force
Modifies that course.
By Alan Beech
Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass.
The greater the mass, the greater the force needed.
Mass multiplied by acceleration
With force has an equal relation.
Formed in equation say
f = m times a.
Force was defined by Newton
As mass times acceleration.
Force is measured in newtons check,
In kilogram meters per sec per sec.
By Alan Beech
To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Each action has a sequel
That's opposite and equal.

Atwood's Machine
By ElTom
Atwood’s, like an
inclined plane
Slows the pull of
gravity again.
Over a pulley a
string is strung
And at each end a
mass is hung.
With it we can investigate
How time and gravity
relate,
In physics class this
is seen
And called Atwood’s
machine.
The easiest case to
study
Involves a
frictionless pulley
And uses massless
strings
(both impossible
things).
When both masses
equate
Neither accelerate
Action and reaction
agree;
Nothing moves (says
Newton 3).
If unequal mass is
applied
To the string on
either side,
Each side equally
accelerates
To Earth the
heavier gravitates.
m1
side (toward the floor)
positive
m2 side (toward ceiling) negative.
So positive side m1g - F = m1a
And negative side F - m2g = m2a.
From these equations by adding
Lose F, the tension of the string
Reducing to a times
(m1 + m2)
Equating to g times (m1
– m2).

Orbits making an ellipse
Ellipses have two foci, one
Is the Sun.

A line joining a planet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal time intervals.
Approaching planets accelerate

Kepler’s third Law
By Stündle
The orbital period of a planet squared is proportional to the cube of the half major axis of its orbit.
The period ‘P’ of a planet
Is the time it takes to orbit,
‘a’ is for half major axis
The radii of planet ellipses.
Kepler thought as ‘P’ squared
Constant proportionality shared
With ‘a’ cubed for every planet,
“Music of the spheres” was in it.

Tycho Brahe spent years in isolation
Making notes of each planets position.
Kepler used his work to calculate
How Earth and its planets circulate.
Newton used Kepler’s calculation
In his theory of gravitation,
But could not afford its publication cost.

Acceleration of gravity
Call it letter F or little g

Inverse Square Law
By Borb
The intensity of action (e.g. radiation) from a point decreases in proportion
to the reciprocal of its distance from the source squared ( I α 1/d2).
Light has a propensity
To decrease in intensity
In proportion to the square
Of its distance to anywhere
Gravity falls off by inverse square,
also the volume of sound in air,
And a very important one,
Heat and energy from the Sun.

The sequence of planets in our Solar System from the Sun is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
Eight little planets cool are we,
From the Sun we are number three.
Beautiful Venus next we see.
Nearest the Sun, tiny Mercury.
First on the right is Mars the red
Where the Roman war god bled.

Eight moons or more around it pass.
Nearly as big gassy Saturn see
A ball in a ring of ice debris.
Uranus and Neptune, so far away

Temperature Scales
There are 9 degrees F for every 5 degrees C. The conversion
factor is 5/9 (Add or subtract the 32o F).
Fahrenheit’s body was not able
To give him a temperature stable.
On ninety six he tried to fix
But it was ninety eight point six.
(He used expansion of mercury
In a hand blown glass capillary).
Water at thirty two starts to freeze
Begins to boil at two twelve degrees.
From ice into steam Fahrenheit sees
One hundred and eighty F degrees.
Celsius said water oughta' freeze
Only when it's at zero degrees.
And boil at one hundred.
That Fahrenheit blundered.
Kelvin (Celsius was his hero)
In honor of absolute zero.
Those Celsius degrees extended
To where thermal motion ended.

Meters and seconds and current in amperes,
Light in candelas and Kelvin temperatures,
Masses in kilograms, compounds in moles,

Noble Gases
By Pumbaa
The naturally occurring noble gases are helium (He), neon (Ne), argon (Ar),
krypton (Kr) [Pron. Krip-ton],xenon (Xe) [pron. zeenon] and radioactive
radon (Rn) [Pron. ray-don]. In the atoms of the noble gases, the outer "valence"
shell is filled full of electrons, so they seldom take part in chemical reactions.
For the same reason they are mon-atomic, i.e. each atom is a molecule.
With shells of electrons fully pack'd
The noble gases seldom react.
Helium we waste in a toy balloon
We'll value more than gold dust soon.
Neon next to balloonacy
Makes the red strip lights you see.
Argon next to neon share,
Is almost one percent of air
But you'd never know it's there.
Krypton next in the noble plan
A gas, not the planet of Superman.
Xenon heaviest noble able
To have a nucleus that's stable.
Radon, radioactive gas
Sometimes found in homes, alas.

Air Liquefaction Fractions
Although only a small percentage of air by volume, these
noble gases are available as air is liquefied on a large scale.

Electromagnetic (EM) Wave (Ray) Spectrum
By Penubag
The spectrum is continuous but we use the term ‘rays’ for all except very long waves.
The constant velocity of light (Terminal velocity) V = frequency x wavelength.
Waves most penetrating gamma,
Minute but an energy hammer.
X-ray waves see through skin substrate
But our bones cannot penetrate.
Ultra violet rays, UV,
Shorter than violet waves we see.
Violet view then to indigo go,
Blue then green are next in the row.
Yellows like lemons to oranges change,
Red, longest waves in the visible range.
Longer than visible waves, infra-red,
We cannot see them but feel heat instead.
Very long EM waves we know
Carry media, TV and radio.

Ether Debunked
Ancients said ether was special air
Only heavens and gods could share
Newton used it to square observation
With his new theory of gravitation.
Clerk Maxwell contradicted
Stuff Newton had predicted
To his electromagnetic field
The ether concept started to yield.
Both light and this stuff ether
Traveled too fast to meter,
Michelson refused to concur
Made an interferometer.
Equipment that he designed
Many more times was refined.
Working with Morley he persisted
Deduced ether never existed.
Einstein’s Special Relativity
Related how mass is energy.
The ether concept it nixed
And time and space it unfixed.

By Chetvorno
Sound pressure waves are produced by vibrations of the loudspeaker diaphragm.
Without the air around, your ear
Would not know that sound was here.
Because every sound we hear
Squeezes all the air that's near.
Sound is fastest near the ground
Less air up high, so slower sound.
Also the speed in air is slower
When the temperature is lower.

Anodic Oxidation
By MichelJullian
This often confuses students.
Oxidation involves loss of
electrons and reduction involves gain of electrons. (Anion & cation are pronounced:

When an anion meets an anode
Oxidation, aye
Its minus charges will unload
The current, it will fly.

The nucleus in the center of each atom holds
positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. These relatively heavy
particles together define its atomic mass. The number of protons in the nucleus
defines its atomic number. The number of negatively charged electrons in orbits
round the nucleus, generally equals the number of nuclear protons.
If we opened an atom to see inside
Three kinds of particles in it reside
Two kinds are bigger, the nuclear lot
Protons are positive, neutrons are not
Tiny electrons, those minus-charged e's

Newton’s
Kinematic Equations
These equations apply to uniform motion
in a straight line when the
abbreviations represent A = acceleration, D = distance traveled or
abbreviations represent A = acceleration, D = distance traveled or
displacement, T =time, U = initial
velocity, V = final velocity
D=(U+V)T/2
When A you can no longer view
When A you can no longer view
D is (U plus V) times T over 2.
D=UT+AT2/2
When final velocity V is spared
When final velocity V is spared
D is UT plus half AT squared.
V2=U2+2AD
When time T is missing V squared
When time T is missing V squared
Is two AD plus U squared.
V=U+AT
When D is missing V
When D is missing V
Is U plus AT.

Membranes semi-permeable
To solvents are permeable,
With hardly a pause
They squeeze through its pores
To equalize solutions
Of different concentrations.
Where solutes are too fat
To do that.

The nucleus in the center of each atom holds
positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons. These relatively heavy
particles together define its atomic mass. The number of protons in the nucleus
defines its atomic number. The number of negatively charged electrons in orbits
round the nucleus, generally equals the number of nuclear protons.
If we opened an atom to see inside
Three kinds of particles in it reside
Two kinds are bigger, the nuclear lot
Protons are positive, neutrons are not
Tiny electrons, those minus-charged e's
Fly round in orbits like buzzing of bees.

Externally
Alpha won’t penetrate skin*
Beta goes centimeters in.
Aluminum sheet can beta defeat.
Gamma penetrates thick concrete.
Internally
Alpha ionizes, kills long term
Beta burns skin, mutates sperm.*
Gamma rays pass harmlessly
Kills when focused for surgery.

*Eye tissue and broken skin are
vulnerable.
Radioactive Products
Radioactive atoms have unstable nuclei. Each time a
nucleus decomposes,
alpha, beta or gamma radiation may evolve and a
different element is formed.
In ordinary chemical reactions nuclei are not
involved, only the electrons.
Alpha two charges positive,
Beta's electron is negative,
Gamma ray no charges give

Particles alpha, from atoms decayed
Of two protons and two neutrons made.
Though they may not penetrate much
They kill off every cell they touch.

Beta with a velocity great
More than alpha can penetrate.
Electrons with a negative charge
Harm and ionize where they barge.

Water strider didn’t
oughta
Be able to stride
across water.
Over ponds these tiny
bugs flit
Surface tension
enables it.
In a liquid every molecule
From all of its neighbors gets a pull.
At the surface neighbors below
Pull the surface tension we know.
