Physics formula Flashcards
Hookes law
Force = constant x extension
Moment both formulas
Moment = force x distance to pivot at 90 degrees. or force 1 x distance 1 = force 2 tx distance 2
How to calculate resultant force
make them chase each other then use pythagoras
Force
force = mass kg x acceleration m/s^2
Weight
Weight = mass x gravity
Momentum
Momentum = mass x velocity
Impulse
Impulse = force x contact time = change in momentum
Velocity
velocity = distance/time
Acceleration
Acceleration = change in velocity/change in time
Distance in a speed time graph
Area under the graph
Density
density = mass/volume
Pressure in gas, both formulas
pressure = 1/volume or Pressure 1 x volume 1 = pressure 2 x volume 2
Work
Work or change in energy = force x distance
Potential Energy
Potential Energy = mass x gravity x Height
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy = ½ x mass x (velocity)2
Power
Power = work done/time taken
Pressure
Pressure = force/area
Pressure in Liquids:
Pressure = density x gravity x depth
Current
Current = Charge/ time I = Q/t
potential difference (Voltage)
potential difference (Voltage) = work done/ charge
e.m.f
e.m.f. = Work done/Charge
(Ohm’s law) Voltage
(Ohm’s law) Voltage = current x resistance V = I R
Resistance
resistance = voltage/current
Power / energy transfer per unit time
Power = current x voltage
Energy
Energy E = Voltage x current x time
Resistors in series
R = R1 + R2
Resistors in parallel R
R = R1 x R2 / R1 + R2
Heat Energy
Heat Energy = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change
Efficiency
Efficiency = useful Energy (or power) output/Energy input x 100%
Wave speed
Wave speed = frequency x wavelength
Frequency of a wave
Frequency = number of oscillations / timetaken
Refractive index
n = sin i/ sin r or 1/sin c
speed of light and sound
Speed of light in a vacuum (air) = 3.0 x 108 m/s Speed of Sound in air= 330 to 350 m/s
Transformer
Number of turns in primary coil/ Number of turns in secondary coil = Voltage in primary coil/ voltage in secondary coil
Orbital speed
Orbital speed = circumference distance/period time
Power watts
power input = power output or Vp x Ip = Vs x Is
hubble constant
H = velocity / distance
