Area
A= length x length (m2) or l²
Volume
V= length x length x length (m3) or l³
Density
ρ = mass/ volume (Kgm-³)
Velocity
v= displacement/ time (ms-¹)
Acceleration
a = velocity/ time (ms-²) or dv/dt
Force
F=ma (kgms-²or N)
Mass x acceleration
Work aka energy
W or E = force x displacement (kgm²s-² or joules) or W= F by ∥x
Power
P= work / Δtime (kgm²s-³ or watt)
elapsed time
Charge or electric charge
Q = current x time (As or coulombs)
Voltage
V= power/current (kgm²s-³A-¹)
Speed
v= distance/time (ms-¹) or dx/dt
Momentum
p = mv (kgms-¹)
Mass x velocity
Pressure
p= F/A (Nm-² or pa) pascals
Impulse
Change in momentum = applied force x elapsed time
Δp= F Δt
List 3 dimensionless quantities
magnification, refractive index and relative density
Relative Density
ρᵣ=ρₓ/ρᵥᵥₐₜₑᵣ (density of substance over density of water)
Velocity
Δx/Δt displacement over change in time m/s
Moments of a Force (T)
T=F by ⊥x or force by distance
Nm
Torque due to a Couple (T)
T=C by x or force by distance
Nm
Efficiency
η= (useful power out ÷ total power in) x 100%
= (useful energy out ÷ total energy in) x 100%
= Wₒᵤₜ/Wᵢₙ x 100%
Gravitational potential energy
Eₚ= F by ∥x or
Eₚ= mgh mass of object x gravitational acceleration constant x height above ground
Joules
Kinetic Energy
Eₖ= 1/2 mv²
half of an object’s mass (1/2*m) multiplied by the velocity squared.
Joules
Mechanical Energy
Eₘ=Eₖ+Eₚ= constant energy in a closed mechanical system
Joules
Gravitational Field Strength
g= F/mₒ
force/mass
