DEFINITION OF THE TERMS IN PHYSICS

SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY

=the quantity of heat energy required to increasethe temperature of 1 kg of the
substances by 1 C or 1 K
SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT
=amount of heat required to change the phase of 1 kg of the substances at a
constant temperature
PRESSURE
=the force acting normally on one unit area of a surface or the ratio of force to area
WORK
=Work done by a constant force is given by the product of the force and the
distance moved in the direction of the force.
FORCE
=force is a push or pull
MOMENTUM
=The momentum of an object is the product of the mass and the velocity of the
object
ENERGY
=Energy is capacity to do work
FORCE IN EQUILIBRIUM
=Forces acting on an object are in equilibrium if the net force acting on the object is
zero
HALF-LIFE
=
INTERFERENCE
=the effect producd by the superposition of the waves from two coherent sources,
resulting in constructive interference and destructive interference
EFFICIENCY
=compares the useful energy output to the energy input,
