The image above shows the formulae that students need to know in Malaysia SPM Physics syllabus in Mind Map form. You may click on the image to enlarge it for a better view. You may also download and print it out for further reference.

Radioactivity is the last chapter of SPM Form 5 Physics. As you can see, not many formulae in this chapter. For the formula related to half life, usually it is not used to solve the problem because most of the calculation question can be solved by common sense.

Please share it with your friends if you found it useful.

Force and Pressure is the third chapter in Malaysia Form 4 Physics. Image above shows the mind map of this chapter. As you can see, there are 6 main sub-topics in this chapter. The first 3 discuss about the definition of pressure, the pressure in liquid and the pressure in gas, including the atmospheric pressure. For gas pressure, it’s important for you to understand how the manometer and simple barometer work.

The other 3 sub-topics are the Physics Laws that related to pressure. There are a lot of calculation questions related to the Pascal’s principle and Archimedes principle.

The following is the list of topic in this chapter.

  1. Pressure
    1. Formula of Pressure
    2. Unit of Pressure
    3. Applications of High and Low Pressure
  2. Liquid Pressure
    1. Formula of Liquid Pressure
    2. Characteristics of Liquid Pressure
    3. Applications of Liquid Pressure
  3. Gas Pressure
