  • moment of force = force x perpendicular distance from the pivot to the line of action of the force
  • Speed = distance / time (m/s)
  • Acceleration = change in velocity / time taken to change velocity.
  • Velocity = speed x direction
  • Resultant force = mass x acceleration (N)
  • Weight = mass x acceleration due to gravity (N)
  • Momentum = mass x velocity
  • Force applied = spring constant x extension
