Formulas Flashcards
Average Speed
Average Speed = Distance ÷ Time
Acceleration
Acceleration = (Final Velocity − Initial Velocity) ÷ Time
Force (Newton’s Second Law)
Force = Mass × Acceleration
Weight
Weight = Mass × Gravitational Field Strength
Momentum
Momentum = Mass × Velocity
Impulse
Impulse = Force × Time
Work Done
Work Done = Force × Distance
Kinetic Energy
Kinetic Energy = 0.5 × Mass × Velocity²
Gravitational Potential Energy
GPE = Mass × Gravitational Field Strength × Height
Power (Work)
Power = Work Done ÷ Time
Efficiency
Efficiency = (Useful Energy Output ÷ Total Energy Input) × 100%
Specific Heat Capacity
Energy = Mass × Specific Heat Capacity × Temperature Change
Boyle’s Law
Pressure₁ × Volume₁ = Pressure₂ × Volume₂
Wave Speed
Wave Speed = Frequency × Wavelength
Frequency
Frequency = 1 ÷ Time Period
Refractive Index (Angles)
Refractive Index = Sine of Angle of Incidence ÷ Sine of Angle of Refraction
Refractive Index (Speeds)
Refractive Index = Speed of Light in Air ÷ Speed in Medium
Critical Angle
Sine of Critical Angle = 1 ÷ Refractive Index
Charge
Charge = Current × Time
Voltage
Voltage = Current × Resistance
Electrical Power
Power = Voltage × Current
Power (Using Resistance)
Power = Current² × Resistance
Energy Transferred
Energy = Power × Time = Voltage × Current × Time
Resistance in Series
Total Resistance = R₁ + R₂ + R₃ + …
