    Motion
    Average speed (m/s) = distance (m)
    Time (s)

    Average velocity (m/s) = displacement (m) (v = s /t)


    time (s)

    Acceleration = change in velocity (a = v-u )


    time t
    Forces and pressure
    Force (N) = mass (kg) x acceleration (m/s2) (F = ma)

    Force (N) = rate of change of momentum (F = m v – mu )


    T

    Weight on Earth (N) = mass (kg) x 10 (m/s2) (F = mg)

    Momentum (kg m/s) = mass (kg) x velocity (m/s) (p = mv)

    Density (kg/m3)= mass (kg) ( = M / V)


    Volume (m3)

    Hooke’s law: Force = constant x extension = kx (F = kx)

    Pressure (Pa) = force (N) (P = F/A)


    area (m2)

    Pressure underwater = height (m) x density (kg/m3) x gravitational field strength (10m/s2)
    (P = h x  x g)

    Moment of a force (Nm) = Force (N) x perpendicular distance from pivot (m)
    (moment = Fd)
    Energy and work
    Work (J) = Force (N) x distance (m) (E = Fd)

    Power (W) = work (J) (P = E/t)


    time (s)

    Kinetic Energy (J) = ½ x mass (kg) x velocity2 (KE = 1/2mv2)

    Gravitational potential energy (J) = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (g) x height (m)
    (GPE = mgh)

    Efficiency (%) = useful energy output (J) x100


    total energy input (J)

    Energy (J) = mass (kg) x specific heat capacity (J/kg oC) x change in temperature (oC)

    Waves
    Wave speed (m/s) = frequency (Hz) x wavelength (m) (c = f)

    Refractive index = speed of light in vacuum (n = v1 / v2)


    speed of light in material

    Refractive index = 1 / sin (critical angle in degrees) (n = 1 / sin c)

    (n = sin i / sin r)

    sin i
    refractive index =
    sin r
    Gas laws
    Pressure x volume = constant (when a gas is it constant temperature)
    (PV = constant)
    For change in pressure:

    Electricity
    Current (A) = charge (C) (I = Q/t)
    Time (s)

    Voltage (V) = Current (A) x Resistance () (V = IR)

    Power (W) = Current (A) x Voltage (V) (P = IV)

    Energy transferred (J) = Current (I) x Voltage (V) x time (s) (E = IVt)

    Resistors in series:

    Resistors in parallel:

    Transformers:

    Power in primary = Power in secondary (IpVp = IsVs)


    Radioactive decay
