EQUATIONS Flashcards
(you must learn all of these)
density (kg/m³)
mass (kg)/volume (m³) ρ = m/V
speed (m/s)
distance/time v = s/t
acceleration (m/s²)
change in velocity (m/s)/time(s) a = (v-u)/t
kinetic energy (J)
0.5 × mass (kg) × (speed (m/s))² KE = ½ mv²
force (N)
mass (kg) × acceleration (m/s²) F = ma
work done (J)
force (N) × distance (m) (along the line of action of the force) WD = F x D
power (W)
work done (J)/time(s) P = WD / t
momentum (kg m/s)
mass (kg) × velocity (m/s) p = mv
weight or gravity force (N)
mass (kg) × gravitational field strength, g (N/kg) F = W = mg
potential energy (J)
mass (kg) × height (m) × gravitational field strength, g (N/kg) GPE = mgh
pressure (Pa)
force (N) / area (m²)
moment of a force (Nm)
force (N) x distance (m) (normal to the direction of the force)
charge flow (C)
current (A) × time (s) Q = It
energy transferred (J)
(electricity)
charge (C) × potential difference (V) E = QV
potential difference (V)
current (A) × resistance (Ω) V = IR
