Question Answer
force = mass x acceleration
kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x \[speed^2\]
momentum = mass x velocity
work done = force x distance (along the line of action of the force)
power = work done ÷ time
efficiency = output energy transfer ÷input energy transfer
gravity force = mass x gravity constant (g)
in a gravity field: potential energy = mass x height x gravity constant (g)
force exerted by a spring = extension x spring constant
moment of a force = force x distance (normal to direction of the force)
distance travelled = speed x time
acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time
wave speed = frequency x wavelength
charge flow = current x time
potential difference = current x resistance
power = potential difference x current = \[current^2\] x resistance
energy transferred = power x time = charge flow x potential difference
density = mass ÷volume
pressure = force normal to a surface ÷ area of that surface
\[final velocity^2\] - \[initial velocity^2\] = 2 x acceleration x distance
change in thermal energy = m x specific heat capacity x change in temperature
thermal energy for a change of state = m x specific latent heat
energy transferred in stretching = 0.5 x spring constant x \[extension^2\]
potential difference across primary coil x current in primary coil = potential difference across secondary coil x current in secondary coil
for gases: pressure x volume = constant (for a given mass of gas and at a constant temperature)
Higher tier only: force on a conductor (at right angles to a magnetic field) carrying a current = magnetic flux density x current x length
Higher tier only: potential difference across primary coil ÷potential difference across secondary coil = number of turns in primary coil ÷number of turns in secondary coil
Higher tier only: pressure due to a column of liquid = height of column x density of liquid x g
