Equations Flashcards
acceleration in m/s
acceleration = final velocity(m/s) - initial velocity(m/s) / time(s)
distance travelled in m
distance travelled = average speed(m/s) x time(s)
Forces in newtons
forces in newtons = mass(kg) x acceleration (m/s²)
weight in newtons
weight in newtons = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg)
gravitational potential energy in joules
gravitational potential energy = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg) x height (m)
kinetic energy in joules
kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass (kg) x v² (m/s)
momentum in kg m/s
momentum = mass (kg) x velocity (m/s)
wave velocity in m/s
wave velocity = frequency (Hz) x wavelength (m)
Earths gravity
10m/s
efficiency equation
efficiency= useful energy out / total energy in
