1

time period of an experiment

average/no of oscillations

New cards
2

weight

mass x gravity

New cards
3

speed

distance/time

New cards
4

velocity

displacement/time

New cards
5

acceleration

(final velocity - initial velocity)/time

New cards
6

distance/time graphs

gradient = speed

New cards
7

speed/time graphs

area = distance gradient = acceleration

New cards
8

momentum

mass x velocity

New cards
9

change in momentum

mass x (initial - final velocity)

New cards
10

resultant force

change in momentum/time or mass x acceleration

New cards
11

conservation of momentum

momentum before and after the collision is the same or m1u1 + m2u2 = m1v1 + m2v2

New cards
12

impulse

change in momentum or force x time

New cards
13

moment

force x perpendicular distance from pivot

New cards
14

pressure

force/area calculate weight for force

New cards
15

pressure of a gas

p1v1 = p2v2 if temperature is constant

New cards
16

pressure in liquids

density x gravity x height

New cards
17

total pressure

liquid pressure + atmospheric pressure

New cards
18

atmospheric pressure

work

force x displacement or energy transferred

New cards
20

work done by gravity

weight x height

New cards
21

kinetic energy

(mass x velocity^2)/2

New cards
22

gravitational potential energy

gravity x mass x height

New cards
23

power

work/time or energy/time or force x speed rate at which energy is converted

New cards
24
