Measurement and experimentation: common instruments like Vernier caliper, micro-meter screw gauge for length, simple pendulum for time.
Motion: uniform and non-uniform motion, motion in one dimension; distance, displacement, speed, velocity, acceleration; scalar and vector quantities; graphs of distance-time and speed-time; equations of uniformly accelerated motion with derivations (graphical representation). Uniform circular motion.
Laws of motion: Contact and non-contact forces; Relation between force and motion; Newton’s first law of motion (qualitative discussion); introduction to the ideas of inertia, mass and force. Newton’s second law of motion including the mathematical formulation (F=ma). Weight and mass. Newton’s third law of motion (qualitative discussion); simple examples. Conservation of momentum.
Gravitation: Kepler’s laws of planetary motion; acceleration due to gravity; center of mass, idea of gravitational field.
Fluids: pressure in fluids; pressure and thrust; change of pressure with depth (including the formula p=hρg); transmission of pressure in liquids, atmospheric pressure; concepts of density, relative density and specific gravity; buoyancy, Archimedes’ principle, principles of floatation; determination of relative density of a solid.
Work and energy: types of energy, power, work energy relation, transformation of energy; law of conservation of energy.
Heat: heat as a form of energy; concepts of heat and temperature; anomalous expansion of water, graphs showing variation of volume and density of water with temperature in the 0 to 10 deg C range; Hope’s experiment and consequences of anomalous expansion. Energy flow and its importance; energy sources. Global warming and Green-house effect.
Sound: nature of sound waves, waves and wave motion; requirement of a medium for sound waves to travel, propagation and speed in different media; comparison with speed of light. Factors affecting speed of sound; reflection of sound, echo, reverberation; infrasonic, sonic and ultrasonic frequencies and their applications.
Light: reflection of light, images formed by a pair of parallel and perpendicular plane mirrors; spherical mirrors, characteristics of image formed by these mirrors; uses of concave and convex mirrors (simple ray diagrams).
Electricity and Magnetism: simple electric circuit using an electric cell and an electric bulb to introduce an idea of current (including its relationship with charge); potential difference; insulators and conductors; closed and open circuits; direction of current (electron flow and conventional). Induced magnetism, magnetic field of earth; neutral points in a magnetic field. Introduction to electromagnets and its uses.
