Study Notes

Energy

  • Kinetic energy formula: KE = 0.5 x mass x (speed)²
  • Gravitational potential energy (GPE) formula: GPE = mass x gravitational field strength x height
  • Power defined as work done (energy) over time: Power = work done / time
  • Efficiency calculated by the ratio of output to input, multiplied by 100: Efficiency = (output/input) x 100

Electricity

  • Charge flow expressed as the product of current and time: Charge flow = current x time
  • Potential difference (voltage) calculated using: Potential difference = current x resistance
  • Total resistance in a series circuit is the sum of individual resistances: Total resistance = Resistance1 + Resistance2
  • Power using potential difference denoted by: Power = current x potential difference
  • Alternative power formula involving resistance: Power = resistance x (current)²
  • Energy transferred relates to power and time: Energy transferred = power x time
  • Energy transferred can also be calculated with charge flow: Energy transferred = charge flow x resistance

Particle Model of Matter

  • Density defined by the equation: Density = mass / volume

Forces

  • Weight calculation given by: Weight = mass x gravitational field strength
  • Work done determined through the formula: Work done = force x distance
  • Force related to spring properties: Force = spring constant x extension
  • Moment of a force equation: Moment of a force = force x distance
  • General moment defined by: Moment = mass x volume
  • Resultant force calculated as: Resultant force = mass x acceleration
  • Pressure calculated by the formula: Pressure = force normal to a surface / area of the surface
  • Acceleration defined through change in velocity over time: Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time taken
  • Pressure in gases follows the relationship: Constant = pressure x volume
