Resultant force equation
Resultant force(F) = mass(m) x acceleration (a)
F = ma
Inertia mass equation
Force(F) / Acceleration(a)
F/a
Mass weight equation
Weight(w) = mass(m) x gravitational field strength(g)
W = mg
Momentum equation
Momentum(p) = mass(m) x velocity (v)
p = mv
Hooke’s law equation
Force(F) = spring constant(k) x extension(e)
F = ke
Newton second law of motion
Acceleration of object is
- proportional to resultant force
- inversely proportional to mass
Inertia
Tendency to stay at rest or in motion
Weight
Force act on object due to gravity
Mass
Quantity of matter in object
Stopping distance
Shortest time for vehicle to stop
Thinking distance
Distance travel by car when driver react
Braking distance
Distance travel when brake applied
Conservation of momentum
Total momentum is equal before and after event
- Apply when system is closed
Elastic object
Object go back to original shape when force applied is removed
Spring constant
Force per unit needed to extend elastic object
