Key info:
Density = mass / volume
The Density of a substance is the mass per unit volume of
a substance
A VECTOR quantity is one which has both SIZE and
DIRECTION(E.G. Velocity, Acceleration, Force)
A SCALAR quantity is one which has SIZE but no
DIRECTION (E.G. length, Mass, Time, Volume, Speed and
temperature.)
Average speed = distance / time
Velocity = change in displacement / time taken
V = s / t
Acceleration = Change in velocity / time taken
A = v / t
A COUPLE :
-Consists of two equal, oppositely directed-parallel,
coplanar forces
whose lines of action do not intersect.
-Always tends to produce rotation.
-Cannot produce a resultant force (Because the Forces are
equal and opposite) and so cannot produce linear motion.
Torque = Force x distance between the forces
Work done = Force x Distance moved in direction of force
-Not all energy will be transferred so final energy gain of
the object may not equal the work done as energy is lost
through friction.
If the force (F) acts at an angle () to the direction of
motion, we must multiply the component of (F) in the
direction of motion (i.e. Fcos) by the distance moved in
order to calculate the work done.
W = Fcos x s
W = Fs cos
Kinetic Energy = x Mass x Speed2
Ek = mv2
Ep = mg h
Ep lost = Ek gained (assuming friction is negligible)
