general physics Flashcards
average speed (m/s)
Distance(m)/time(s) s=d/t
average velocity(m/s)
displacement(m)/time(s) v=d/t
acceleration (m/s2)
final velocity - initial velocity/time a=Vf-Vi/t
Weight (N)
mass(kg) x acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s2) Wt=mg
Force (N)
mass x acceleration (f=ma)
Density (kg/m3)
mass/volume ρ=m/v
hooke’s law force for springs
Force (N)= constant (n/m2) x extension (m8
Pressure (Pa)
force(N)/area(m2) p=f/A
Fluid pressure
density(kg/m3) x acceleration due to gravity (9.8m/s) x height (m) P=ρgh
work (j)
force x distance w=fd
power (watts)
work/time p=w/t
kinetic energy (j)
1/2 x mass x velocity2 KE=1/2mv2
gravitational potential energy (j)
mass x acceleration due to gravity x height GPE=mgh
efficiency (%)
useful power output(w or j)/total power input(w or j) x 100% n=Pout/Pin x 100%
moment (Nm)
force x perpendicular distance of pivot (m) M=fd
