Formulas
If you are trying to find Force, what formula do you need?
F=Mass x Acceleration
An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newton's 1st Law
The bottom of the wave
Trough
Which of the following is not a speed measurement?
cars (mi/hr)
snails (cm/s)
running (m)
Running (m)
If you are trying to find the time it took you to speed up from 0-60 m/s, what formula would you use?
Distance / Speed
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Newton's 3rd law
The difference in where you started and where you ended
Displacement
Scott travels north 5 miles and then goes west 3 miles before coming straight back south 2 miles. What is his distance?
10 mi
What formula is Final Velocity- Initial Velocity Divided by time?
Acceleration
The unbalanced force that stops a ball from rolling forever.
Friction
Used to calculate Force
Newtons
You leave the classroom and go to the bathroom, then come back to class. What is your displacement?
0
This formula is just speed with a Direction: What is it?
Velocity: Distance / Time
All the force acting on an object at once.
Net Force
The range of waves that are transverse across a medium
EM Spectrum
A cyclist accelerates from 0 m/s to 8 m/s in 3 seconds. What is his final velocity?
8m/s
If you are trying to find Mass in the force equation, what formula would you use?
Force / Acceleration
How much force is needed to accelerate a 66 kg skier 1 m/sec/sec?
66 Newtons
Measured at 9.8 m/s, this is acting on all objects.
Gravity
A ball is dropped from the top of a building. After 2 seconds, it’s velocity is measured to be 19.6 m/s. What is the initial Velocity?
0m/s
