| Question | Answer |
| Momentum | a property given to a mass that is moving; the product of a body's mass and velocity |
| Principle of conservation of momentum | If no external forces are acting, the total momentum of a system of colliding bodies is constant. |
| Elastic | A collision in which KE is conserved |
| Inelastic | A collision in which KE is not conserved |
| Boyle's Law | Fixed mass of gas at constant temp: volume is inversely proportional to pressure |
| Charles' Law | Fixed mass of gas at constant pressure: volume is directly proportional to absolute temp. |
| Pressure Law | Fixed mass of gas with constant volume: pressure directly proportional to absolute temperature |
| Specific Heat Capacity | The quantity of heat energy required to raise 1kg of a material by 1K |
| Simple Harmonic Motion | Any object that is displaced from a stable equilibrium will oscillate. The acceleration of this object will be: - In the direction of the equilibrium - proportional to the displacement |
| Half Life | The time taken for the activity of a material to fall to half its original value |
| Binding Energy | Energy that holds a nucleus together |
| Binding energy per nucleon | average energy required to remove a single neutron from a nucleus |
| Critical Size | The size of fuel assembly required which is just capable of sustaining a chain reaction within it. |
