physics equations Flashcards
what is the equation for distance travelled?
distance travelled = average speed * time
what is the equation for acceleration?
acceleration= change in velocity/time taken a= (v-u)/t
what is the equation for force?
force=massacceleration F=ma
what is the equation for weight?
weight=massgravitational field strength W=mg
what is the equation for efficiency?
efficiency= useful energy transferred by device/ total energy supplied to device
what is the equation for momentum?
momentum= massvelocity p=mv
what is the equation for wave speed?
wave speed=frequencywavelength v=f λ
wave speed= distance over time v=x/t
what is the equation for work done?
work done=forcedistance moved in direction of the force E=Fd
