Formulas Flashcards
Weight
W (weight(N)) = m (mass(kg)) * g (gravitational field strength(N/kg))
Hooke’s Law
F (force(N)) = k (spring constant(N/m)) * e (extension(m))
Gravitational Potential Energy
Ep (gravitational potential energy(J)) = m (mass(kg)) * g (gravitational field strength(N/kg)) * h (height(m))
Kinetic Energy
Ek (kinetic energy(J)) = (m (mass(kg)) * v² (speed or velocity(m/s))) / 2
Elastic Potential Energy
Ee (elastic potential energy(J)) = k (spring constant(N/m)) * e² (extension(m))) / 2
Power 1
P (power(W)) = E (energy transferred(J)) / t (time elapsed(s))
Power 2
P (power(W)) = W (work done(J)) / t (time elapsed(s))
Efficiency
Efficiency (%) = (Useful Energy Output (J) / Total Energy Input (J)) * 100
Speed or Velocity
v (speed or velocity(m/s)) = s (distance or displacement(m)) / t (time(s))
Acceleration
a (acceleration(m/s²) = (v (final velocity(m/s)) - u (initial velocity(m/s))) / t (time(s))
Work Done
W (Work Done(J)) = F (force(N)) * s (Distance(m))
