    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
