equations for physics Flashcards
what is the equation for kinetic energy
kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x speed (squared)
what is the equation for GPE (Gravitational Potential Energy)
mass x gravitational field strength x height
what is the equation for power
power = work done/time taken
which is the same as energy transferred/time taken
or power = current x potential difference
or power = resistance x current(squared)
what is the equation for efficiency
efficiency = useful energy output/total energy input
what is the equation for potential difference
potential difference = current x resistance
what is the equation for charge flow
charge flow = current x time
what is the equation for total resistance
total resistance = resistance of component 1 + resistance of component 2
what is the equation for energy transferred
energy transferred = power x time
what is the equation for density
density = mass/volume
What’s the equation for the change in thermal energy
change in thermal energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
What does a potential difference of 1 volt us
It tells us that 1 joule of energy is transferred for each coulomb of charge that is moving through the circuit, if it was 3 volts it would be 3 joules per coulomb of charge
