Equations that I have to know Flashcards
What is the formula for pressure (Pa)
Force (Newtons) / Area (cm2/m2)
What is the formula for density ? (g/cm3)
Mass (g or kg) / Volume (cm3 or m3)
What is the formula for pressure difference? (Pa)
pressure difference (Pa)= gravitational field strength (N/kg) x density (kg/m3) x depth (m)
What is the formula for the change in thermal energy ? (Joules)
Change in thermal energy (Joules) = mass (g) x specific heat energy ( joules/ kg*celcius) x change in temperature ( celcius)
What is the equation for efficiency?
Useful energy/ total energy *100
What is the equation for frequency?
1/ time period (s)
What is the equation for wave speed (m/s) ?
frequency (Hz) * wavelength (m)
What is the equation for force?
mass (g) * acceleration ( m/s)
How do you find out the weight?
mass * gravity strength ( m/s^2)
Mega is:
- 1,000,000
kilo is:
*1,000
mili is:
/ 1000
micro is:
/ 1,000,000
How do you find the energy (joules) required to do something (e.g boil a kettle?)
energy (J) = mass (kg) * specific heat capacity * change in temperature (degrees C)
How do you find the specific heat capacity?
specific heat capacity =energy (joules) / mass (kg) * change in temperature (degrees C)
