Math Equations To help you for your test
Speed (s) • Speed = distance/time • Many units – look at the problem • m/s, km/hr, m/min, mi/hr
Acceleration (a) Acceleration = final speed – starting speed time Units vary as well, pay attention to the problem m/s2, km/hr2
Average Speed • Average Speed = total distance total time Units are the same for speed m/s, km/hr, etc.
Net Force • Sum of all forces • Add for same direction • Subtract for opposite directions • UNIT: Newton (N)
Force • Force = mass x acceleration • F=ma • Newtons (N)
Mechanical Energy • ME = potential + kinetic • ME = PE + KE • Joules (J)
Kinetic Energy • KE = ½ mass x velocity2 • KE = 1/2mv2 • Joules (J)
Potential Energy • GPE = mass x gravity x height • GPE = mgh • g=10 m/s2 • Joules (J)
