Question Answer
Snells Law Equation Ni Sin(i) = Nr Sin(r) i - angle of incidence r - angle of refraction Ni - refractive index of incident medium Nr - refractive index of medium where refraction occurs
Refractive Index Equation Speed of light in vacuum (3x10^8m/s) ----------------------------------------------------- speed of light in medium
Critical Angle Equation Sin(C) = Nr ------ Ni
When does total internal reflection occur Occurs when a wave hits the boundary between two substances at an angle beyond the critical angle
Moment Equation Moment = force x distance
Circular Motion Equation F = m v^2 ------ r
Pressure Equation Pressure = force -------- area
Pressure in Liquids Equation P = hpg h - height in liquid p - density of liquid g - gravitational field strength
Work Done force x distance in direction of travel
Power energy transferred (J) ------------------------------ time taken (s)
Power Work done (J) --------------------------- time taken (s)
Efficiency useful energy out ------------------------------- total energy in
Boyles Law Pressure of a gas is inversely proportional to its volume: p1 v1 = v2 p2
Pressure Law (TEMP MUST BE KELVIN) p1 = p2 ----- ----- t1 t2
Energy Absorbed Equation E = mass x specific heat capacity x temp rise /\E = mc/\T
Specific Latent Heat Equation Energy = mass x specific latent heat E = mL
What is specific latent heat of a substance? This tells us how much energy is needed to change the state of 1kg of a substance at constant temperature
Gain in KE = ??? Loss of GPE v = √2gh
Energy Supplied Equation Energy Supplied = Power(W) x time(s)
Density Equation mass ----------- volume
Momentum Equation momentum = mass x velocity p = mv (kgm/s)
Impulse, what is it? Change in momentum: resultant force x time F t = /\p
What happens to momentum after a collision? It is the same: total momentum before = total momentum after
KE from momentum equation KE = p^2 -------- 2m
Wave Frequency Equation number of waves --------------------------- time f = n/t
Time for one oscillation T = 1 / f
Wavelength Equation λ(m) = v(m/s)/f
Density Equation Mass / Volume
GPE Equation GPE = mgh
KE Equation 1/2 m v^2
Speed Equation S = d / t
Velocity equation v = displacement / time
Acceleration Equation /\v / t
Acceleration Equation 2 f = ma a = f/m
Newton's 1st Law If there is no resultant force acting on an object it will move with constant velocity (can be zero)
Newton's Second Law If a resultant force acts on a body, the body will accelerate in the direction of the force f = ma
Newton's Third Law Every action has an equal and opposite reaction
Weight Equation weight = mass x gravitational acceleration(9.81m/s)
Hooke's Law F = kx k - spring constant x - extension A material is said to obey Hooke's Law if its extension is directly proportional to the applied force
