8.0 1L SUMMARY OF EQUAT IONS


Note: Quantities shown in bold are vectors.
v = dr dt a = dv dt
v = v 0 + at
For constant acceleration a, if at t = 0 r = r0 and v = v0:
r = r0 + v0 t + 12 at 2
v2
Circular motion at constant speed a = r = ! r (Centripetal acceleration, points
2

towards center of circle, is angular speed in radians per second)


Adding relative velocities ("wrt" is short for "with respect to"): v A + v B = v A
wrt wrt wrt
B C C

!F = 0 " a = 0 (Newtons first law)


F = ma or F = dp dt (Newtons second law)
FAB = FBA (Newtons third law)
F = -kx (spring force) f ! N (Friction force relative to Normal force)
W = " F ! dr (work done by force F)

Wother = !E = EF " EI E = KE + PE (work-energy theorem)


dU
Fx = ! (force derived from potential energy)

dx
Potential Energies: U = mgh (gravitational, near Earth)

Physical Constants:

g = 9.8 m/s2 Use the approximate value g = 10 m/s2 where told to do so.
Conversion reminder:
radians = 180o

Lazy Physicist 's Favorite Angle: (to be used when calculators are not allowed):

36.9o and 53.1o are the angles of a 3-4-5 right triangle so:

sin(36.9) = cos(53.1) = 0.60 cos(36.9) = sin(53.1) = 0.80


tan(36.9) = 0.75 tan(53.1) = 1.33
