Q

Liquid pressure?

A

LP = Height * density * gravity strength

17
Q

Kelvin and Celsius?

A

Kelvin –> Celsius we -273 degrees

Celsius –> Kelvin we +273 degrees

18
Q

Boyles law?

A

P1V1 = P2V2

when temp constant

19
Q

Charles law?

A

V1/T1 = V2/T2

20
Q

Ussac law??

A

P1/T1 = P2/T2

21
Q

Heat transferred?

A

Heat transferred (J) = mass (kg) * specific heat capacity (J/kg/c) * change in temperature (K or C)

22
Q

Refractive index?

A

Sin i/Sin r = n2/n1 = n

N = C/V (C = speed of light in medium and V = speed of light in vacuum (3*10^8 m/s)
no units because it is a ratio)

23
Q

Density?

A

Mass/volume

24
Q

Rate of change in momentum?

A

Mv-Mu/t
or
MA (mass*accelaration) = Force

25
Q

Moment?

A

F*perpendicular distance from pivot (Nm)
