General Science

  • SI units: force newton, pressure pascal, work and energy joule, power watt, frequency hertz, electric current ampere.

  • Newton's second law gives F = ma; the first law describes inertia, and the third law states action and reaction are equal and opposite.

  • Ohm's law: V = IR at constant temperature; electrical power P = VI = I²R = V²/R.

  • pH below 7 is acidic, pH 7 is neutral, and pH above 7 is basic; litmus turns red in acid and blue in base.

  • Human body: skin is the largest organ, liver the largest gland, femur the longest bone, and stapes the smallest bone.

  • Photosynthesis: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight.

  • Cell organelles: mitochondria produce ATP, ribosomes synthesize proteins, chloroplasts carry out photosynthesis, and lysosomes digest waste.

  • Planet order from the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune; light travels at about 3 × 10⁸ m/s.

Mathematics

  • Percentage: x% of y = xy/100; a percentage increase from P to Q is ((Q − P)/P) × 100.

  • Simple interest SI = PRT/100; compound interest CI = P(1 + R/100)^T − P.

  • Profit percent = ((SP − CP)/CP) × 100; loss percent = ((CP − SP)/CP) × 100.

  • Average = sum of observations ÷ number of observations; total = average × number.

  • Rectangle area = l × b, perimeter = 2(l + b); circle area = πr², circumference = 2πr.

  • Triangle area = ½ × base × height; right triangle relation a² + b² = c².

  • For two numbers, LCM × HCF = product of the numbers; HCF divides both numbers exactly.

  • Speed = distance ÷ time; time = distance ÷ speed; distance = speed × time.
