Formulas (Unit 1) Flashcards
Moment of a Force
Moment = Force = Perpendicular distance from pivot
M = F × D
Equations of motion
v = u + at
s = ½(u + v)t
s = ut + ½at²
v² = u² + 2as
Average velocity
Average Velocity = Total displacement ÷ Total time taken
Impulse
F × t
Ft = mv - mu
Momentum
p = mv
Acceleration
a = (v - u) ÷ t
Force
F = ma
Work done
Wd = f × d
Wd = ½mv² - ½mu²
Wd = QV
Potential Energy
p.e. = mgh
Kinetic Energy
k.e. = ½mv²
Efficiency
Efficiency = useful output energy ÷ total input energy
Power
P = wd ÷ t
P = energy transfered ÷ time taken
P = Fv
P = IV
P = I²R
P = V² ÷ R
Charge
Q = It
e.m.f.
E = W ÷ Q
Voltage
V = IR
Resistance
(Resistivity)
R = ρl ÷ A
e.m.f. of a cell
E = V + v
E = V + Ir
E = IR + Ir
E = I(R + r)
Potential Divider
I = Vᵢₙ ÷ (R₁ + R₂)
Vₒᵤₜ = I × R₁
Vₒᵤₜ = (R₁Vᵢₙ) ÷ (R₁ + R₂)
