Equations Flashcards
Work done
= force x distance
GPE (j)
Mass x gravity( N/kg squared) x height
Kinetic energy (j)
= 0.5 x mass(kg) x speed (m/s) squared
Elastic potential energy (j)
= 0.5 x spring constant ( N/m) x ( extension) squared
Change in thermal energy (j)
Change in thermal energy = mass(kg) x specific heat capacity(j/kg degrees c) x temperature change (degrees c)
Acceleration
Acceleration = change in velocity/time taken to change velocity
Force
Force= mass x acceleration
Momentum
Momentum = mass x velocity
Speed/velocity of a wave
Velocity = frequency/ wavelength V= f x h
Force applied with springs
Force = spring constant x extension
Weight
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength ( n/kg) squared
Distance travelled
Speed x time
Power (energy)
Energy transferred / time
Power (work done)
Work done / time
Efficiency (energy)
Efficiency = useful energy output transfer / total input energy transfer
