Flashcards for OCR GCSE Physics A, Gateway Science (J249), split into the topics of Paper 1 and Paper 3 and then the topics of Paper 2 and Paper 4, in the specification's order, with a subdeck for working scientifically, required practicals and the equations list. Higher-tier cards say so. Delete or suspend any subdeck your course leaves out.

Adding it gives you your own copy, with every subdeck below. Each card then comes back just before you would forget it, and every one you get right or wrong counts towards your mastery of its topic. You can delete or suspend the parts you are not studying once it is yours.

Some of its cards

  • What type of wave are electromagnetic waves, transverse or longitudinal?
    Transverse
  • What does it mean for energy to be dissipated?
    It spreads out and ends up stored in less useful ways, often as a small temperature rise in the surroundings
  • What is the difference between accuracy and precision in a measurement?
    Accuracy is how close a measurement is to the true value; precision is how closely repeated measurements agree with each other
  • What happens to the total mass of a substance when it changes state?
    It stays the same; no mass is lost or gained
  • What is a typical speed for a person walking?
    About 1.5 m/s
  • How is the pressure of a gas related to the motion of its molecules?
    The gas molecules move and collide with the walls of their container, and this creates a pressure
  • What two types of particle make up an atomic nucleus?
    Protons and neutrons
  • Give three examples of non-renewable energy resources.
    Fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, and nuclear fuel
  • What is the 'plum pudding' model of the atom?
    Thomson's early model, where negative electrons are spread through a ball of positive charge
  • Give four ways in which objects can interact to produce a force on each other.
    Electrostatically, gravitationally, magnetically, or by contact
