1. Speed: distance per unit time (scalar).

= distance/time

2. velocity : displacement per unit time (vector).

= displacement/time

3. Acceleration: rate of change of velocity (vector).

=change in velocity/change in time

Distance-Time graph Speed-Time graph

Gradient= Speed Gradient= Acceleration


A straight line (slope) represents constant A straight line (slope) represents constant
speed. A very steep slope means the object is acceleration .A steep slope means large
moving at a large speed. acceleration (or deceleration) .
A shallow slope means the object is moving at a A gentle slope means small acceleration (or
small speed. deceleration).
A flat, horizontal line means the object is A flat line means the acceleration is zero. object
stationary (not moving). is moving with a constant speed

4. weight: is a gravitational force on an object with mass

=mass × gravitational field strength

5. Mass is a measure of the quantity of matter in an object at rest (scalar).

=weight/gravitational field strength

6. Gravitational field strength: The force per unit mass acting on an object in a gravitational field

7.Density: The mass per unit volume of a material (water (1000 kg/m )).

=mass/volume

8.Force: A push or a pull that acts on an object due to the interaction with another object

9. Newton's first law of motion states that objects will remain at rest, or move with a constant velocity
(speed and direction), unless acted on by a resultant force.

10. Newton's second law of motion states The acceleration of an object is proportional to the resultant
force acting on it and inversely proportional to the object's mass.

=m/a

11. Hookeʼs law states that The extension of a spring is proportional to the applied force.

=kx OR =F/x
12. Moment: The turning effect of a force about a pivot.

=fxd

13. conditions of equilibrium: a) no resultant forces b) no resultant moment (total c.w moment=total
a.c.w moment)

14. The centre of gravity of an object is the point at which the weight of the object may be considered to
act

15.Momentum

= mass × velocity

=The total momentum before a collision = The total momentum after a collision

16. the momentum of an object will change if: The object accelerates (speeds up) or decelerates (slows
down) or Changes direction or Its mass changes

17.Impulse: is the change in momentum:

=m(v-u)

18.Kinetic energy: The energy an object has as a result of its mass and speed

=1/2mv2

19. Gravitational Potential Energy The energy an object has due to its height in a gravitational field

=mgh

20. Work is done when an object is moved over a distance by a force applied in the direction of its
displacement.

=fxd

21.Power: The rate of doing work

=E/t

22.Efficiency:

=output power(energy)/input power(energy) *100%

23.Pressure: The concentration of a force or the force per unit area

=F/A

=ρgΔh

Useful equations:

GPE=KE

Total Pressure=Pressure (atm) + Pressure (liq)

P1V1=P2V2

Work Done= ΔKE OR ΔGPE
