Physics formula Flashcards
Density
pho (kg/m^3 or g/cm^3) = mass/volume
Gravitational field strength
g (N/kg) = weight (N)/mass(kg)
Average speed
v (m/s or km/h) = total distance (km or m)/total time (hour/s)
Velocity
v (m/s or km/h) = total displacement (km or m)/total time (hour/s)
Acceleration
a = F(N)/m (kg) or a = change in velocity (m/s)/change in time (s)
Pressure
p(N/m^2 or N/cm^2) = force (N)/ area (m^2 or cm^2)
N/m^2 = Pascal (Pa)
Force (Hooke’s law)
F (N) = k (N/m) x (m)
Hooke’s law states that force is directly proportional to extension, up until a point called the limit of proportionality, where Hooke’s law no longer applies and the spring is permanently deformed.
Moment
moment (Nm or Ncm) = F (N) * perpendicular distance (m or cm)
Gravitational potential
E (J) = mass (kg)* gravitational acceleration (m/s^2)*vertical height (m)
Kinetic energy
1/2mass(kg)velocity^2 (m/s)
1/2mv^2
Work done (energy transferred)
Work done (J) = force (N) * distance moved in the direction of force (m)
Power
Power (W) = work done (J)/time (s)
So watts are a.k.a joules per second
