Newtons three Laws of Motion describe the relationship between the force or
forces acting on an object, modelled as a point mass, and the motion of the
object due to the application of the force or forces
free body diagrams show the forces and net force acting on objects, from
descriptions of real-life situations involving forces acting in one or two
dimensions
This includes applying the relationships

nuclear stability is the result of the strong nuclear force which operates
between nucleons over a very short distance and opposes the electrostatic
repulsion between protons in the nucleus
some nuclides are unstable and spontaneously decay, emitting alpha, beta
(+/-) and/or gamma radiation over time until they become stable nuclides
each species of radionuclide has a half-life which indicates the rate of decay
This includes applying the relationship

alpha, beta and gamma radiation have different natures, properties and effects
the measurement of absorbed dose and dose equivalence enables the analysis
of health and environmental risks
This includes applying the relationships

Heating processes
all substances have internal energy due to the motion and separation of their
particles

there is an inherent danger involved with the use of electricity that can be
reduced by using various safety devices, including fuses, residual current
devices (RCD), circuit breakers, earth wires and double insulation
