physics equations Flashcards
1
Q
acceleration
A
vf-vi/t
2
Q
average speed
A
total distance/time
3
Q
average velocity
A
displacement/time
4
Q
When it’s slowing down, velocity and position are?
A
opposite signs
5
Q
When it’s speeding up, velocity and position are?
A
the same sign
6
Q
Fx
A
Fcos theta
7
Q
fy
A
fsin theta
8
Q
how to find theta
A
inverse tan (fy/fx0
9
Q
Fn when fn doesnt equal mg
A
mg-fy
10
Q
at constant velocity
A
a = 0
11
Q
when a box is at rest on a table
A
Fg = ma
Fn = Fg
12
Q
when a box is hanging from a ceiling
A
Ft = mg
T = W
13
Q
when a box is pulled upwards at a constant velocity
A
the acceleration is zero since the velocity is constant.
ma = t-w
0 = t-w
T = mg
14
Q
a block is pulled upward with a constant acceleration
A
T = ma + mg
15
Q
What is the acceleration when there is constant speed?
A
a=0
