Question

Develop a mnemonic for branches of physics.

Answer 1

1. For physics, a common mnemonic is "My Very Earnest Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas" to help remember the order of the planets in our solar system (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto).
2. "SOH CAH TOA" - This helps remember the trigonometric ratios in a right triangle: Sine = Opposite/Hypotenuse, Cosine = Adjacent/Hypotenuse, Tangent = Opposite/Adjacent.
3. "King Henry Died Drinking Chocolate Milk" - This is used to remember the metric system prefixes in order of magnitude: Kilo, Hecto, Deca, (Base Unit), Deci, Centi, Milli.
4. "ROY G. BIV" - This helps remember the colors of the visible light spectrum: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Violet.
5. "F = ma" - This equation represents Newton's second law of motion, stating that Force equals mass times acceleration.
6. "E = mc²" - This equation represents Einstein's theory of relativity, stating that Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.
7. "PEMDAS" - This mnemonic helps remember the order of operations in math: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right).
8. "VIRUS" - This helps remember the formula for Ohm's Law: V (Voltage) = I (Current) x R (Resistance) or V = IR.
9. "KE = 1/2 mv²" - This mnemonic represents the formula for kinetic energy: Kinetic Energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity squared.
10. "PE = mgh" - This helps remember the formula for gravitational potential energy: Potential Energy = mass x gravitational acceleration x height.
11. "F = G(m₁m₂/r²)" - This mnemonic represents Newton's law of universal gravitation, where F is the force between two masses, G is the gravitational constant, m₁ and m₂ are the masses, and r is the distance between the centers of the masses.
12. "P = IV" - This mnemonic helps remember the formula for power in an electrical circuit: Power = Current x Voltage.
13. "E = hf" - This represents the formula for energy of a photon, where E is energy, h is Planck's constant, and f is the frequency of the electromagnetic wave.
