Phys210 Formula Sheet - May2019

This document contains physics formulas related to mechanics, thermodynamics, waves, optics, and electromagnetism. Some key formulas include: 1) Newton's Second Law (Fnet = ma), work (W = ∆KE), gravitational potential energy (∆PEg = mg∆h), Hooke's law (F = -kx), and conservation of mechanical energy (Emech = KE + PE). 2) The ideal gas law (PV = nRT), heat transfer (Q = mc∆T), and thermodynamic processes like isothermal (W = nRTln(Vf/Vi)). 3) Wave properties like frequency (f = v/λ), super

Standing wave:
y1 (x,t)= ym sin (kx – wt) v  w/ k
y2 (x,t) = ym sin (kx +wt)

Standing wave: interfere according to the superposition principle

y(x,t) = y1+y2=2 ym sin(kx)cos(wt)

The transverse speed of the element of a traveling wave is:


vy = -wym cos(kx – wt)

The maximum value of the transverse speed:


vy, max = wym
