Moments

Moment = F (Force N)*d (distance m) (Nm/ Joules)


(Principle of Moments) (Sum) Clockwise Moments = (sum) Anticlockwise Moments
(Principle of Moments) (F*d)+ (F*d) = (F*d) + (F*d)
Energy
Ek (Kinetic Energy) = m (mass kg)*v2 (Velocity/Speed m s)
Ep (Gravitational Potential Energy) = m (mass kg) * g (acceleration due to gravity = 10 m s-2) * h (height m)
Ep = Ek (m (mass kg) * g (acceleration due to gravity = 10 m s-2) * h (height m) = m (mass kg)*v2 (Velocity/Speed m s))
Hookes Law
Spring Constant (k) = 1/ s (gradient of the slope)
Gradient= y2 - y1/x2-x1
Pressure
Pressure in solids (p) (Pa) = Force (F) (N) / A (area) (m2)
Pressure in fluids (p) (Pa) = Height (h) (m) * Density (p) (kg/m3) * Gravity (N/kg) + Atmospheric Pressure (Pat) (Pa(Pascal))
Gas Laws
p1 V1 = p2 V2 (Boyles Law)
V1/T1 = V2/T2 (Charles Law)
p1/T1 = p2/T2 (Pressure Law)
p1 V1/ T1 = p2 V2/ T2 Combined Gas Equation
Archimedess Principle
Up thrust Force (Fu) = W (Weight) (m(mass) * gravity (g))
Density
D (density) (P) = kg (mass)/ m3 (volume)
Relative Density (Pr) = Density of Substance (kg m -3)/ Density of Standard e.g. (Water 1,000 kg m-3)
Motion In A Straight Line
(speed) = m (distance)/s (time)
(velocity) = m (displacement)/s (time)
a (acceleration)= v(Final Velocity)-u (Initial Velocity)/t (Time Taken)
Linear Equations
v(final velocity)= u(initial velocity) + a(acceleration)*(time taken)
s(displacement)= u(initial velocity)*t(time taken) + 1/2(a(acceleration)*t(time taken)2)
v2(final velocity)= u2(Initial Velocity) + 2*a(acceleration)*s(displacement)
Specific Heat Capacity
c(Specific Heat Capacity)(J Kg K)= EH(Heat Energy)(J)/m(mass)(Kg)* Temperature(Change in Temp.)(Final Temp. - Initial Temp.)
(K)
Heat Energy
EH(Heat Energy)(J)= m(mass)(Kg)* c(Specific Heat Capacity)* Temperature(Change in Temp.)(Final Temp. - Initial Temp.) (K)
Newton's Laws
F (Force) (Newton) = kg (mass) * m s-2 (Acceleration)
Formulae
w (work done) = F (force) * d (distance) (Nm/J (Joules preferably))
Power = w (work done)/ t (time)
v(velocity(from the Conservation of Energy Equation)= 2g(gravity)*h(height)
Momentum
p(momentum)(Kg m s)= m(mass)*v(velocity)
Conservation of Linear Momentum
m1*V1 - m2*v2 = (+/-) m3*v3
m1*v1-m2*v2 = -m3*v3+m4*v4
m1*V1 - m2*v2 = m3*v3+m4*v4
Magnification
magnification (m) = v(distance of image from the lens) / u(distance of object from the lens)
1/f(focal length) = 1/v(distance of image from the lens) + u(distance of object from the lens)
Waves
Frequency (f) (hertz(Hz)) = 1/ T(Period)
Wave Speed = f(Frequency) * (Lamda)
Method of Mixtures
EH = EH
c = m*c* / m *
