    Study Notes

    Units of Physical Quantities

    • Pressure (P): kg m⁻¹s⁻²
    • Gravitational Potential Energy (U): kg m²s⁻²
    • Density (p): kg m⁻³
    • Kinetic Energy (K): kg m²s⁻²
    • Frequency (f): Hz (or s⁻¹)

    Physics Formulas and Quantities

    • Pressure: Pressure = Force / Area (P = F/A)
    • Gravitational Potential Energy: U = mgh (m = mass, g = acceleration due to gravity, h = height)
    • Drag Force: Fd = ½ * Cf * p * A * v² (Cf = drag coefficient, p = density, A = area, v = velocity)
    • Kinetic Energy: K = ½ * mv² (m = mass, v = velocity)
    • Frequency of a wave: f = v / λ (v = wave speed, λ = wavelength)
