  • Equations to Learn
    1. distance = speed × time
    2. a = (v - u) / t
    3. F = ma
    4. weight = mg
    5. ∆GPE = mg∆h
    6. KE = 1/2 mv^2
    7. efficiency = usefully energy output / total energy input
    8. wave speed = v = fλ
    9. wave speed = v = x/t
    10. work done = force × distance (moved in the direction of the force) = E = Fd
    11. Power = work done / time = energy transferred / time taken
    12. Moment of force = force × perpendicular distance
    13. energy transferred = charge moved × pd = E = QV
    14. charge = current × time = Q = It
    15. Voltage = Current × Resistance = V = IR
    16. Electrical Power = current × pd = P = IV
    17. Electrical power = current^2 × resistance = P = I^2R
    18. density = mass / volume = ρ = m/V
    19. force on spring = spring constant × extension = F = k∆x
    20. pressure = force / area = P = F/A
