Equations Flashcards
Forces and Motion
s = d/t
a = (v-u)/t
v^2 = u^2 + 2as
F = ma
W = mg
p = mv
F = (mv-mu)/t
moment = force × perpendicular distance from pivot
Electricity
P = IV
E = IVt
V = IR
Q = It
E = QV
Waves
v = fλ
f = 1/T
n = sin i/sin r
sin c = 1/n
NB:
- refractive index (n) does not have units because it is a ratio
- c = critical angle
Energy resources and energy transfers
efficiency = (useful energy output/total energy output) × 100%
W = Fd
GPE = mgh
KE = 1/2mv^2
P = W/t or P = E/t
Solids, liquids and gases
ρ = m/V
P = F/A
P = hρg
here, ‘P’ is pressure difference
p1/T1 = p2/T2
p1V1 = p2V2
𝜟Q = mc𝜟T
Astrophysics
v = (2πr/T)
change in wavelength/reference wavelength = velocity of galaxy/speed of light
Magnetism and Electromagnetism
Vp/Vs = np/ns
VpIp = VsIs
for 100% efficiency
F = BIL
