Formulas Flashcards
Speed
Speed = distance / time
Acceleration
Acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time taken
Momentum
Momentum = mass x velocity
Force (N)
Force = Change in momentum / time taken
Resultant force
Resultant force = mass x acceleration
Weight
Weight = mass x gravitational strength (9.8)
Efficiency of device
Efficiency of device = useful energy (output) / total energy supplied (input)
Power in terms of current and voltage
Power = current x voltage
Gravitational potential energy
GPE = (MGH) mass x gravitational field strength (9.8) x change in height
Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x velocity
Elastic potential energy
Elastic potential energy = 0.5 x spring constant x extension^2
Power in terms of energy and time
Energy / time
Power in terms of current and resistance
Current^2 x resistance
Work done
Force x distance
Power in terms of work done
Power = work done / time
