Center of mass
Cmass= (r1m1+r2m2+r3m3…)/mtotal
Newton’s 2nd law: Force
F=ma
Avg velocity
Vavg=(V1+V2)/2
Distance traveled
Distance=rate*time
Range
Range=Vx*time
Object falling-its distance traveled
X=1/2 at²
Final velocity given drop height
V=√(2gh)
Round trip times or time in the air
tair=2V/g*V=must be the vertical component of initial velocity
At terminal velocity
mg=F air
Force DUE to gravity or “inverse square law”* “G”*NOT gravity itself
F=Gm1m2/r²
“gravity” or “the strength of the gravitational field” or “acceleration due to gravity” * “g”
g=Gm/r²
Near earth, force due to gravity
F=mg
Gravitational Potential energy*near earth
PE=mgh
Gravitational Potential energy*in space, or near earth if NOT assuming g=10m/s²
PE= -Gm1m2/r
Friction formulas
Ff= µ(static)Fnormal or Ff=µ(static)mgcosθFf= µ(kinetic)Fnormal or Ff=µ(kinetic)mgcosθsliding=kineticno sliding=static
Force down an inclined plane, parallel to the surface
F = mgsinθ
Normal force on an inclined plane (always perpendicular to surface)
Fn=mgcosθ
Velocity of a particle at the base of an inclined plane
Vf=√(2gh)
Hooke’s Law (springs)
F = k∆x*(where ∆x is the displacement ofthe spring from its equilibrium point, NOT thelength of the spring)
Elastic Potential energy
PE = 1/2k∆x²*likely to be used in conservation of energy [KE–>PE]. This can tell us how far the spring will compress when something hits the spring1/2mv²= 1/2k∆x²
Period of a Spring*(time needed for one complete cycle)
T = 2π√(m/k) [mass on a spring]*solving for frequency: just invert it T=1/f f=1/T
Period of a Pendulum
T = 2π√(L/g) [pendulum]*solving for frequency: just invert it T=1/f f=1/T
Torque
T=Fℓ*ℓ=lever arm
Centripetal Force
Fc=mv²/rvelocity of satellite: mv²/r=Gm1m2/r²centriFUgal= the force “going away” from center of circle
