1

velocity formula

The formula for velocity is:

velocity = displacement / time

where displacement is the change in position and time is the duration of the displacement. Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude (speed) and direction.

Acc

acceleration formula

The formula for acceleration is:

a = (vf - vi) / t

where a is acceleration, v_f is final velocity, v_i is initial velocity, and t is time.

New cards
3

gradient formula

The formula for calculating a gradient is:

Gradient = (Change in y) / (Change in x)

where y and x are the vertical and horizontal changes, respectively.

4

hookes law

Hooke's Law states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is proportional to that distance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as F = -kx, where F is the force applied, x is the displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position, and k is the spring constant.

5

pressure

Pressure = Force / Area

pressure in liquid = (density)(gravity)(height)

pressure in a gas = p1v1=p2v2

New cards
6

force formula

The formula for force is:

F = m x a

where F is the force, m is the mass of the object, and a is the acceleration.

New cards
7

moments formula

The formula for calculating moments is:

M = F * d

Where M is the moment, F is the force applied, and d is the perpendicular distance from the force to the pivot point.

New cards
8

conditions of equilibrium

Conditions of Equilibrium:

For an object to be in equilibrium, the following conditions must be met:

  1. The net force acting on the object must be zero.

  2. The net torque acting on the object must be zero.

New cards
9

momentum formula

The formula for momentum is:

p = mv

where p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity.

New cards
10

impulse formula

The formula for impulse is given by:

m(v-u)= FΔt

where m(v-u) is the impulse, F is the force applied, and Δt is the time interval during which the force is applied.
