Equations Flashcards
Weight
weight = mass x gravitational field strength
W = m g
Work Done
work done = force x distance
W = F s
Force on a string
spring constant x extension
F = k e
Moment
moment of a force = force x distance
M = F d
Pressure
pressure = force normal to a surface / area of that surface
p = F / A
Distance
distance travelled = speed x time
s = v t
Acceleration
acceleration = change in velocity / time taken
a = delta v / t
Resultant Force
resultant force = mass x acceleration
F = m a
Momentum
momentum = mass x velocity
p = m v
Kinetic Energy
kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x (speed)^2
Ek = 1/2 m v^2
Gravitational Potential Energy
gravitational potential energy = mass x gravitational field strength x height
Ep = m g h
Power (Electricity)
power = (current)^2 x resistance
P = (I)^2 R
power = potential difference x current
P = V I
Power (Work Done)
power = work done / time
Wave Speed
wave speed = frequency x wavelength
v = f x a (not “a” but that’s closest)
Charge Flow
charge flow = charge x time
Q = I t
