Scalars and Vectors
Scalar: Physical quantity represented by only a number
Eg Mass, temperature Vector: Physical quantity requiring a
direction AND number (magnitude) Eg Force, velocity
Distance and Displacement
e.g. total distance of travel
• DistanceLength of an object has travelled
• Displacement
e.g. final position – initial position
Change in position of an object.
Scalar
Vector
Speed or Velocity?
Speed: Scalar quantity.
Velocity: Vector quantity. Magnitude AND Direction
Magnitude only
Velocity
To find velocity, when travelling at a constant velocity (no acceleration) OR to find the average velocity:
Questions
Tim travels 80m North up North Rd. He then turns and travels 60m East along east road. This travel takes 24s.
1) Draw a diagram of the situation2) Calculate the total distance3) Calculate the total displacement4) Calculate the average speed5) Calculate the average velocity
Centre of mass motion
Usain Bolt runs the 100m with a speed of 10ms-1
Do all parts of his body move at 10ms-
1? His arms? His legs? His Head? No. His arms often move faster (and
slower) than 10ms-1
Centre of Mass Motion
As physicists, we simplify the problem, and approximate Usain Bolt as a point, at his centre of mass.
So all calculations of his speed are based on his centre of mass
Joke
A Statistician, Engineer and Physicist go to the horse track. Each have their system for betting on the winner and they're sure of it. After the race is over, the Statistician wanders into the nearby bar, defeated. He notices the Engineer, sits down next to him, and begins lamenting: "I don't understand it. I tabulated the recent performance of all these horses, cross-referenced them with trends for others of their breed, considered seasonal variability, everything. I couldn't have lost.“ "Yeah," says the Engineer, "well, forget that. I ran simulations based on their weight, mechanical ratios, performance models, everything, and I'm no better off.“ Suddenly, they notice a commotion in the corner. The Physicist is sitting there, buying rounds and counting his winnings. The Engineer and Statistician decide they've got to know, so they shuffle over and ask him, "what's your secret, how'd you do it?“ The Physicist leans back, takes a deep breath, and begins, "Well, first I assumed all the horses were spherical and identical..."
Acceleration
Acceleration is a measure of how much velocity changes over time
Change in velocity: Acceleration:𝑎=

Astronauts in “near earth” orbits “appear weightless”
When else do you feel reduced weight or weightlessness?
Getting to the top of a lift Starting the lift (going down) Driving over the top of a small hill Falling
Apparent Weight
Our apparent weight is equal to the normal force acting on us

Apparent Weightlessness
When a space shuttle is orbiting the earth, the force of gravity is = to the centripetal force
There is no normal force! Astronauts are basically in a continual
free fall around the earth Therefore appear to be weightless! But why don’t they crash into earth? They are moving sideways as well
Apparent Weightlessness
Its like the astronauts are at the top of a roller coaster loop-to-loop, with a slow enough force that they feel weightless. But their entire orbit around the earth feels like this!

Voltage
The amount of energy supplied by the battery per coulomb.
It is effectively “used up” by components of a circuit
Measured in Volts A voltmeter must be in parallel with a
component Also called “potential difference”
Current
How many coulombs per second. Total current depends on the components
of the circuit: They “draw” current out of the battery
Measured in Amps Ammeter must be in series Current flows from + to – in a circuit. Or
from high voltage to low voltage (although the electrons flow the opposite way)

Voltage Divider Prac
Make a voltage divider Make one with a variable resistor
Voltage Dividers
What is a general rule for how the voltage is divided in a series circuit?
Voltage Dividers
What are they good for? Demo: Variable resistor Room in the book to draw the circuit
diagram.
Voltage Divider
If we swap the variable resistor from before with a thermistor or LDR, we can get a cool “control circuit”
Voltage Divider
Thermistor: Is a resistor, whose resistance changes depending on its temperature
Symbol: Graph (Board)
Voltage Divider
LDR: Light Dependant Resistor. A resistor whose resistance depends on
the amount of light falling on it. Symbol:
Voltage Divider
Using a thermistor (or LDR), we can make a control circuit to control a fan (or air conditioner):
Circuit diagram When the temperature rises, the
resistance of the thermistor decreases.
Voltage Divider
When the temperature rises, the resistance of the thermistor decreases.
The voltage increases in the output. When the voltage in the output reads a
certain amount, the fan circuit will turn on!

Diodes
Quick Prac – Diodes. Increase voltage. Reverse Bias. Make graph
Diodes
Diodes are a non-ohmic device They only allow current to flow in one
direction. This is called “forward bias” A diode connect in “reverse bias” will
allow no current to flow Diode symbol:
Diodes
Threshold Voltage. After a diode reaches its threshold voltage, it conducts like a wire: resistance free
Note: You cannot connect a diode to a circuit without a resistor! It will short circuit and explode…

Amplification
Amplification
A typical electrical signal, that is transmitting sound, might look like this…
Amplification
Draw what it might look like if it was amplified 2x…
This is known as the “gain”
Amplification
Amplifiers can de-amplify. Amplifiers can be inverting as well.
Draw the signal if it was amplified with an inverting amplifier with gain of -5
Amplification
A typical voltage in/ voltage out graph looks like …
The gain is the slope of the graph. What is the gain of this graph? Is it
inverting/non inverting?
Amplification
What is the gain of this graph? Is it inverting/non inverting?
Amplification
Clipping can occur, if you attempt to amplify a signal larger than the amplifier can supply
This is called saturation of the amplifier The saturation voltage is the largest
that the amplifier can output If the signal has structure, this can
result in a distortion of the signal (Draw on board)
Amplification
Amplification achieved with a transistor
Amplification
More readily done today with an IC (integrated circuit) that has many transistors/resistors and capacitors built into it

I'm looking for an opamp similar to a 5532 that I can operate using a> single 9 volt battery for the power supply. I use 5532's for general> audio circuits but my datasheet recommends a minimum supply voltage of> 10 volts for this device.>> Anyone know of a good low voltage opamp for audio aplications? BTW, a> deviced that is second sourced would be nice.
It depends a bit on what you're trying to do. 9v is a bit of an awkwardvoltage because many of the newer opamps are designed for the 3v or 5v rangeand won't go up to 9v; the older ones, as you know, are often designed forat least +/-5v, that is, 10v single supply.
Don't fret too much about the rated supply voltage. You can actually getdecent audio performance out of even those ones rated for at least 10v, on a9v battery. It's one of those things where the manufacturer won't promiseit but hundreds of thousands of audio devices have proven it does work.
The TL062 is probably the most common opamp that I encounter for 9v audiowork. It has the advantage of very low supply current. It is, however,very noisy and has crappy frequency response - that's the tradeoff. Forbetter sound at the expense of more supply current, the TL072 is a goodopamp. The LM358 has also been widely used for 9v audio, although it doeshave some shortcomings.
Note that both the TL062 and TL072 have improved versions, the TLE2062 andTLE2072 respectively, with better specs. The TLE2072 uses 1.8mA perchannel, is rated for supply voltages as low as 4.5v (single supply!), andhas a 10MHz gain bandwidth. I've used it in a number of battery-poweredaudio applications with good success.
As GregS points out, the OPA2134 is a truly excellent opamp, and is ratedfor 5v single supply. It does consume 3 times the current of the TLE2072,though.

Photonics
Photonics is the transfer of information or signals using light.
We have it because electrical wire could only transfer one phone call per wire
Fibre optics can transfer up to 1000 phone calls per fibre cable!
Plus, its cheaper! Electrical cables are made from copper. Fibre is made from glass (silica), which is made from sand.
How might you use light to transfer information
Morse code? What would we need? Something to produce the light Something to direct the lights travel Something to receive the light and to
“translate it”
