Velocity as a Function of Time

Position as a function of time

Velocity as a function of displacement (time-independent

Displacement using average velocity

Initial velocity components

Horizontal motion (constant velocity ax = 0)

Vertical motion (free fall, ay = -g)

Newtons Second Law

Newtons Second Law broken down into components

Static friction (preventing motion)

Kinetic friction (sliding motion)

Weight / Gravitational Force Near a Surface

Hooke’s Law (Spring Force)

Inclined Planes (Standard Decomposition)

Centripetal acceleration (directed toward the center)

Centripetal force (net force causing circular motion)

Speed in terms of period (T) or frequency (F)

Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation

Gravitational Field / Surface Acceleration

Orbital Speed

Velocity is the rate at which position changes

Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes

Weight is a gravitational force measure in N

Work is done when a force causes an object to move through a displacement
