formula for weight
weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity
W = mg
what is the formula for pressure
pressure = force x area
PA = N/m2
what is the formula for work done
work done = force x distance
W [in J] = F [in N] x d [in m]
what is the formula for gravitational potential energy
acceleration due to gravity x mass x height
what is a force
a push or a pull
what is resultant force
overall force after considering all forces acting on a body
what is the law of conservation of energy
energy can be converted from one form to another, but it cannot be created or destroyed
state examples of contact forces
frictional force
elastic force
tension force
normal force
state examples of non-contact forces
gravitational force
magnetic force
what factors affect pressure
force
area
what are the requirements for work to be done
- there is a force acting on the object
- object is moving
- movement is in the direction of the force
