formulas Flashcards
work done
work done = force x distance moved
wd = f x s
gravitational potential energy
gpe = mgh
kinetic energy
kinetic energy = 1/2 mass x speed squared
ke = 1/2 mv2
elastic potential energy
elastic potential energy = 1/2 x spring constant x extension
epe = 1/2ke2
efficiency
efficiency = useful output / total input
power
power = energy transferred / time taken
p = E/t
energy transferred
energy transferred = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
E = mc(triangle)t
density
density = mass / volume
d = m/v
kg/m2
pressure = force / area
p = F/A
current
current = charge flowing / time
I - Q/t
voltage
voltage = electric energy / charge
V = E/q
resistance
resistance = voltage / current
V = IR
power
power = voltage x current
P = IV
Boyle’s law
pressure x volume = constant
PV = k
weight
weight = mass x gravitational field strength
W = mg
thermal energy for a change of state
thermal energy = mass x specific latent heat
E = mL
wave speed
wave speed = frequency x wavelength
v = f (lambda)
force
force = spring constant x extension
F = ke
change in heat
change in heat = mass x specific latent heat
(triangle) heath = mL
