DENSITY (/gcm-3-kgm-3) = MASS (m/g-kg) / VOLUME (V/cm-m3)

WEIGHT (W/N) = MASS (m/kg) x ACC.GRAVITY (g/Nkg-1)

MOMENT (M/Nm) = FORCE (F/N) x PEP. DISTANCE (d/m)

(PRINCIPLE OF MOMENTS: CLOCKWISE = ANTICLOCKWISE)

FORCE (F/N) = SPRING CONSTANT (k/Nm-1) x EXTENSION (x/m)

SPEED (s/ms-1-kmh-1) = DISTANCE (x/km-m) / TIME (t/s-h)

ACCELERATION (a/ms-2) = VELOCITY (v-u/ms-1) / TIME (t/s)

(a= m of Velocity-time Graph; Total d= Area under Graph)

NEWTON 2ND LM : FORCE (F/N[kgms-2]) = MASS (m/kg) x ACCELERATION (a/ms-2)

MOMENTUM (/kgms-1) = MASS (m/kg) x VELOCITY (v/ms-1)

WORK (W/J[Nm-1]) = FORCE (F/N) x DISTANCE (d/m)

POTENTIAL ENERGY (EP/J) = MASS (m/kg) x ACC. GRAVITY (g/Nkg-1) x HEIGHT (h/m)

KINETIC ENERGY (Ek/J) = MASS (m/kg) x SPEED2 (v/ms-1)

PRESSURE (p/Pa[Nm-cm-2]) = FORCE (F/N) / AREA (A/cm-m2)

PRESSURE (LIQUID) = HEIGHT (h/m) x DENSITY (/kgm-3) x ACC. GRAVITY (g/Nkg-1)

HEAT CAPACITY (C/JK-1) = EH (J) / T (K)

EH= C x T

SPECIFIC HEAT CAPACITY (c/ Jkg-1K-1) = EH / m x T

EH = mc T

SPECIFIC LATENT HEAT;

LATENT HEAT OF FUSION ; EH = mlf

LATENT HEAT OF VAPOURISATION; EH = mlv

PERIOD (T) = 1 / FREQUENCY

WAVE SPEED (v) = FREQUENCY (f/Hz) x WAVELENGHT (/cm--)

LINEAR MAGNIFICATION, m = IMAGE DISTANCE, v / OBJECT DISTANCE, u

LENS FORMULA: 1/ f (focal length) = 1/ u + 1/ v

QUANTITY OF CHARGE (Q/C[As-1]) = CURRENT (I/A) x TIME (t/s)

POTENTIAL DIFF. (V) = ENERGY (E) / CHARGE (Q)

POWER (P/W) = CURRENT (I/A) x p.d (V)

IV = E/t

POWER (P/W [Js-1]) = WORK (E/J) / TIME (t/s)

EFFICIENCY (%) = OUTPUT / INPUT x 100%

RESISTANCE (R/) = p.d (V) / CURRENT (I/A)

RESISTANCE IN SERIES = SUM OF RESISTANCE

RESISTANCE IN PARALELL = 1/RP = 1/R1 + 1/R2

ENERGY (E) = MASS (m) x SPEED OF LIGHT2 (c2)
