work
Forcedisplacement = F(cos(theta))delta X = FdeltaX = 1/2 mv^2 (final) - 1/2mv^2(initial) = KEf-KEi
power
deltaW/delta(t)
spring potential energy
U(spring)=1/2k(deltaL)^2
L=length the spring is compressed
gravitational potential energy
Ugrav=mg(delta(H))
m=mass
g=gravity
H=height
spring force
-k(deltaX)
Normal force at rest
N=w=mg
m=mass
g=gravity
Normal force on an incline
N=mgcos(theta)
theta=angle of inclination
normal force with an external upward force
N=mg-Fsin(theta)
F=outside force
theta=the angle between the object and the outside force
normal force with a external downward force
N=mg+Fsin(theta)
F=outside force
theta=the angle between the object and the outside force
normal force as apposed to friction
N=Friction/mu
force of friction
f=N*mu
