speed
v = d/t
velocity=distance/time taken
1 of 27
acceleration
a = Dv/t
acceleration= change in velocity/time taken
2 of 27
Density
r = m/V
density =mass/ volume
3 of 27
Force
F=ma
Force=mass x acceleration
4 of 27
work done
W = Fs
work done = force x distance moved in the direction of that force
5 of 27
momentum
p = mv
momentum = mass x velocity
6 of 27
power
P = E/t
power = energy transferred/time taken
7 of 27
power
P = W/t
power = work done/time taken
8 of 27
weight
W=mg
weight = mass x gravitational field
strength
9 of 27
Kinetic Energy
EK= 1/2mv2
kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x (velocity squared)
10 of 27
change in gravitational potential energy
DGPE = mgDh
change in gravitational potential energy = mass x gravitational field strenth x difference in height
11 of 27
Pressure
P = F/A
pressure = force applied/contact area
12 of 27
Gas Law
pV = nRT
Gas Law: pressure x volume of a gas = number of moles x molar gas constant x absolute temperature
13 of 27
Gas Law
P1V1 = P2V2
T1 T2
NB Temperature MUST be in Kelvin
Gas Law: combination of Boyle's Law and Charles' Law
14 of 27
Charge
DQ = IDt
charge = current x time
15 of 27
Ohm's Law
V = IR
Ohm's Law: Potential difference = current x resistance
16 of 27
Ohm's Law Law applied to the full circuit
EMF = I(R + r)
Ohm's Law applied to the full circuit: Electromotive force = current x (sum of the circuit resistance and the internal resistance of the cell)
17 of 27
Power
P = I V
power = current x potential difference
18 of 27
energy transferred in a component
W = QV
energy transferred in a component = charge passing through it x potential difference acorss it
19 of 27
resistance
R = r x l/A
resistance = resistivity x length
cross sectional area
20 of 27
Wavespeed
v = fl
for electromagnetic radiation v = c giving:
c = fl
wavespeed = frequency x wavelength
21 of 27
Centripetal force
FC = mv2/r
centripetal force = mass x speed2 / radius of path
22 of 27
Electrical energy changed into heat
E = VI t
Electrical energy changed into heat = potential difference x current x time
23 of 27
Inverse square law for force on a mass in a gravitational field of another mass
FG = - G m1 m2/r2
NB the minus sign indicates it is ALWAYS attractive
Inverse square law for force on a mass in a gravitational field of another mass: Force is proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the dista

Inverse square law for force on a charge in an electric field of another charge
FE= 1 Q1 Q2
4pe0 r2
NB the overall sign indicating wherther it is attractive (negative) or repulsive (positive) comes from the signs of the charges.
Also, although the constant of proportionality is complex it is a similar relationship to ab

Capacitance
C = Q/V
capacitance = charge stored /potential difference
26 of 27
ratio of the voltages across the coils of a transformer
V1 = N1
V2 N2
NB the 1 could be P for primary and the 2 could be s for secondary - it doesn't matter which is which!
ratio of the voltages across the coils of a transformer = the ratio of the turns on the coils
