28
weight equation
weight= mass x gravity
29
momentum equation
momentum= mass x velocity
30
suvat equation
``` s=ut + 1/2at s=1/2(v+u)t v= u +at v^2=u^2 + 2as s=vt - 1\2at^2 ```
31
resistance, voltage, current, power equations ( there are four of them)
V=IxR P=IxV P=I^2xV P=V^2/R
32
current charge time equation
I=🔺Q/🔺t
33
fundamental wave equation for light waves
speed of light= frequency X wavelength
34
work done equation
work done = force x distance
35
kinetic energy equation
Ke=1/2mv^2
36
denfition of kinetic energy
kinetic energy is the energy possessed by virtue of its motion
37
kinteitc energy mommentum mass equation
K.E= momentum^2/2xmass
38
relation of ke and wd
kinetic energy = work done
39
work done equation using u and v
W=1/2mv^2-1/2mu^2
40
what is potential energy
the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its positin in afield or state of strain is called potential energy
41
definiton gravitational potential energy
the enregy possessed by a body due to its position in the gravtiational field of earth called gravitation potential energy
42
potential energy equation
P.E= mgh
43
deffiniton of potential energy of a spring
when a spring is streched or compressed from its normal position a restoring force is set up inside the spring
44
spring force equation
F=-kx where k is the spring constant and the -ve sign indicates that restoring force is opposite to the displacement
45
total work done on a spring equation
work done on a spring = 1/2kx^2
46
conservation of energy
energy xan neither be created nor destroyed. it can only be transformed from one form into another withour gain or loss
47
stess equation
force/area
48
strain equations
strain=🔺L/L
49
young modulus equation
stress / strain
