Physics calculations Flashcards
Weight calculation
Weight = mass (kg) ✖️ gravitational field strength (N/kg)
Gravitational field strength
Weight/mass = gravitational field strength
Mass (weight + gfs)
Mass= weight divided by gravitational field strength
Work done
Work done= force ✖️distance
Distance
Distance = work done divided by force
Force
Force = work done divided by distance
Gravitational potential energy
GPE ( delta E) = mass (m) (9.8 on earth) ✖️ gravitational field strength (g)✖️change in height (delta H)
Change in height
Change in height= change in GPE/ mass x gravitational field strength
Mass (gpe, gfs, change in height)
Mass= change in GPE/gravitational field strength x change in height
Kinetic energy
Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity squared
Velocity
KE
———— = velocity squared
(0.5 x m)
Mass (ke)
Mass = KE
————- ———
(0.5 x v squared)
Energy
Energy = 0.5 x mass x velocity squared
Voltage
Voltage (v) = amps (I) x resistance (r)
Charge
Charge (Q) = current (I) x time (t)
