formulas Flashcards
velocity
displacement/time taken
acceleration
change in velocity/time taken
uniform acceleration
v-u/t in secs
displacement
1/2 (u+v) t
average velocity
1/2 (u+v)
pressure (N/m^2 or Pa)
force (Fn)/ area (Am^2)
mass (kg)
density x volume
weight (N)
mass (kg x m/s^2 or kg x N/kg) x gravity
pressure in liquid (Pa or N/m^2)
hpg (depth beneath surface x pressure in kg/m^3 x gravitational field strength (10 on earth) )
F1/A1 = F2/A2
F1 x D1 = F2 x D2
density (kg/m^3)
mass (kg)/ volume(m^3)
moment
Fd (Force in N x Perpendicular distance in m)
efficiency
useful energy output/ total energy input x 100%
work done (J)
Fs (constant force in N x distance moved in direction of force in m)
kinetic energy (J)
1/2 mv^2 (mass in kg x speed in m/s)
gravitational potential energy (J)
mgh (mass in kg x gravitation field strength in N/kg or m/s^2 x height in m)
