How to calculate the angle of a resultant vactor
ø = tan-1(Y/X)
Which is path independent? Displacement or distance
Displacement
The rate of actual distance traveled in a unit of time
speed
velocity displacement and time equaiton
v=x/t
Equation for the gravitational force beteen two objects
Fg=Gm1m2/r2
G=6.7e-11
Force that opposes the movement of objects
friction
Equation for friction
Friction = coefficient of friction * magnitude of normal force
Equation to find weight
Fg=m*g
Acceleration equation
ac = ∆v/∆t
Terminal velocity
Fg=Fdrag; person travels @ constant velocity
inclined plane parallel
Fg=mgsinθ
inclined plane perpendicular
Fg=mgcosθ
equation for centripetal force
Fc=mv2/r
Equation for torque
τ= r*F*sinθ
where r is the length of the lever arm, F is the magnitude of the force, and θ is the angle between the lever arm and force vectors.
Velocities acceleration time
v=v0+at
Displacement velocities time acceleration
x=v0t + [(at2)/(2)]
velocities acceleration and displacement
v2=v02 + 2ax
Alpha decay
new A/Z?
lose a helium nucleus (2 protons, 2 neutrons)
A +4
Z+2
