Physics Data Booklet Flashcards

These flashcards cover fundamental concepts, formulas, and constants found in the physics data booklet.

Acceleration of free fall (g)

Approximate value of 9.8 m/s² at Earth's surface.

Gravitational constant (G)

6.67 x 10^(-11) Nm²/kg².

Avogadro constant (NA)

6.02 x 10^(23) mol^(-1).

Gas constant (R)

8.31 J/(K·mol).

Planck constant (h)

6.63 x 10^(-34) Js.

Speed of light in vacuum (c)

3.00 x 10^8 m/s.

Elementary charge (e)

1.60 x 10^(-19) C.

Trigonomic relationship: tan(θ)

tan(θ) = sin(θ)/cos(θ).

Area of a triangle formula

A = (1/2) * b * h, where b is the base and h is the height.

Volume of a sphere formula

V = (4/3) * π * r^3, where r is the radius.

Doppler Effect (Moving Source)

f' = f (v ± us)/(v ± u0) where f' is observed frequency, us is speed of source, u0 is speed of observer.

Electric field strength (E)

E = F/q, where F is force and q is charge.

Voltage (V)

V = W/q, where W is work done and q is charge.

Series circuit rule

In series, I remains constant, V = V1 + V2 + … and R = R1 + R2 + …

Parallel circuit rule

In parallel, V remains constant, I = I1 + I2 + … and 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + …

Kinetic energy (Ek) formula

Ek = (1/2) mv², where m is mass and v is speed.

Efficiency (η) formula

η = useful work output / total work input.

Newton's second law of motion

F = ma, where F is force, m is mass, and a is acceleration.

Wavelength (λ) formula

λ = v/f, where v is wave speed and f is frequency.

Electric potential energy (W) formula

W = qΔV, where q is charge and ΔV is potential difference.
