  • andy chuks Density: Definition, Method of Determining Density
    Density of a substance is the mass per unit volume of the substance. For example to find the density of a body, you find a ration of the mass of the body to the volume of that body. Density = M/V where M is mass, V is volume ------ Methods of Determining Density Direct methods: Here the mass and volume of the body is measured directly. Used for solid...

    • andy chuks @soyode, if you are given to show your answer in kg/m^3 Eg on the above if you should show your answer in kg/m^3, firstly convert 400g to kg i.e 400/1000 = 0.4kg then convert 10cm, 8cm 2cm to metres i.e 10/100 = 0.1m, 8/100 = 0.08, 2/100 = 0.02m respectively The volume = lxwxh = 0.1 x 0.08 x 0.02 = 0.00016m^3 Therefore: Density = m/v = 0.4/0.00016...

  • JP Williams Gravitational Force: How it Works
    Atimes you might wonder why we jump up and come down almost immediately, or why when we throw some object up they come down after some time. This is gravitational force at work. It helps keep the universe in equilibrium. Gravitation is a natural phenomenon by which physical bodies attract with a force proportional to their mass Gravitation is responsible...

    • nicholas bertrand anakwue Well, the converging lens, converges rays that hit it. So when placed at a position btw the principal focus and the pole of the lens, it magnifies the suns heat rays and concentrates it on the surface of the polythene. If u were with a diverging lens, the effect wont be the same, cuz the rays are diverted and not concentrated on the spot of the paper.

  • andy chuks Moment of a Force
    The Moment of a force is the turning effect of the force. For example the opening of a metal cap of a bottle of soft drink, use of screwdriver, turning a corner while riding a bicycle are all turning effects of forces. The Moment of a body about a point is the product of the force and the perpendicular distance of the point from the line of action... Read All     30 September 2010Comment

    • ogugua belonwu Any moving body is said to possess momentum. An object which is at rest has no momentum. There is a ball and stone on the ground. Since they are at rest they don't have momentum. To make it have momentum one must make it move. Naturally we kick them to gain momentum {motion}. Momentum is why the driver of a car applies the brake to stop the car rather... Read All

The momentum is MV = 10 x 2 = 20kgm/s The change in Momentum of a body is called IMPULSE. Ft = MV - MU, where V is final velocity; U initial velocity; M mass of the body. The... Read All

Then you should study with good textbooks and solve sample questions as you study it. Another good option is have a study group with your friends where you can ask questions and answer them.
