Final velocity in constant acceleration motion
v = u + at
Displacement with initial velocity and time
s = ut + 1/2 at²
Equation linking velocity, initial velocity, displacement, and acceleration
v² = u² + 2as
Displacement using average velocity
s = ((u + v)/2) t
Work done with force and displacement at an angle
W = Fd cos θ
Efficiency
Efficiency = useful output / total input
Wave speed, frequency, and wavelength
v = fλ
