equations Flashcards
weight
weight = mass x gravitational field strength W = m x g
work done
work done = force x distance (along a line of action of the force)
W = F x s
force applied to a spring
force applied to a spring = spring constant x extension
F = K x e
moment of a force
force x distance(normal to the direction of travel)
M = F x d
pressure
force / area
p = F / A
distance travelled
distance travelled = speed x time
s = v / t
acceleration
acceleration = change in velocity / time taken a = Δv / t
resultant force
resultant force = mass x acceleration
F = m x a
momentum
momentum = mass x velocity p = m x v
kinetic energy
kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x (speed)²
Ek = 1/2m x v²
gravitational potential energy
gravitational potential energy = mass x gravitational field strength x height
Ep = m x g x h
power 1
power = energy transferred / time P = E / t
power 2
power = work done / time P = W / t
efficiency 1
useful output energy transfer / total input energy transfer
efficiency 2
useful power output / total power input
