General physics
Third law of motion
Physics; General physics
Whenever two objects interact, the force exerted on one object is equal in size and opposite in direction to the force exerted on the other object; forces always occur in matched pairs that are equal ...
Time period (of a wave)
Physics; General physics
The time taken by a wave to travel through a distance equal to its wavelength is called its time period. It is denoted by T. Time period of a wave=1/frequency of the wave.
Latent heat of evaporization
Physics; General physics
The heat absorbed when one gramme of a substance changes from the liquid phase to the gaseous phase, or the heat released when one gramme of gas changes from the gaseous phase to the liquid phase.
Time period (of an oscillation)
Physics; General physics
The time taken to complete one oscillation is called the time period of an oscillation. The time period of a pendulum does not depend upon the mass of the bob and amplitude of oscillation. The time ...
Law of conservation of matter
Physics; General physics
Matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Ultrasonic
Physics; General physics
Sound waves too high in frequency to be heard by the human ear; frequencies above 20,000Hz.
Unbalanced forces
Physics; General physics
When a number of forces act on a body and the resultant force is not zero, then the forces are said to be unbalanced.
