DENSITY
D=p m/v
Alpha (side ways)
Beta
Gamma
Theta
M=mass
v= volume v= velocity p= mass/length
M= density s=distance/ time
Derived quantities= Area, Volume, Density
Pen= proton, electrons, neutrons
Mass= amount of matter in something
GRAPHING
X= independent (you control)
(as X changes so does Y)
Y=dependent Variable (dependent on X)
*time is always on x
INTERPOLATION/ EXTRAPOLATE
1.estimate within data points
2.estimate beyond data points

BASE
l = meters
m= kilograms
t= seconds
t= temperature

DERIVED
Area, A - l 2/m2
Volume, V l 3/m3
P=m/v kg/m3
Speed= distance/time m/s
Velocity= d/t
Acceleration= y/t

Displacement- the change in position (direction)(length)

(V, A, D ,T)

Scalar: Only magnitude(a number with units)

Vector: Magnitude and direction
Length - Scalar
Speed- Scalar
Displacement- Vector

Line segment -----Vector= line segment + direction ---------->

Interpolation= between data points
Extrapolation= beyond data points

Scalar-only positive
Vector- negative and positive
KINEMATIC EQUATIONS
Vf = vi + a (t)
d= vi (t) + a (t)2
(vf)2= (vi)2 + 2a (t)2
d= (t)(vf + vi)

If it is in free fall,
horizontal velocity
doesnt change
TOF= time of flight
X= cos
Y= sin
dx= Range
dx= Vix * t tof
T= 2h/g
T= h/5

FG

BOX AT REST
BOX IN MOTION
Friction- (air resistance=friction) R= Air resistence
The larger the surface= more resistence

SKYDIVER
Air resistance begins to
increase
(Due to the parachute)

FORCES=WEIGHT
weightmass
weight= (N)(Newtons) = mass*g value =
mass= lb/2.2= kilograms
example: 160/2.2= 72.2kg= 727.2 newtons= 160 lbs
EQUILIBRIUM

When a force is at rest the

forces equal each other in
order for the object to
remain still.
Balance= Equilibrium when
the net force is 0

Increeasing the velocity favors

To the right ------>
Fnet = 100 +(-20)
= +80 Newtons

Constant velocity
Going to remain equal

The rougher the surface the closer to one

Ice =0 -----------------------> concrete = 1

1st LAW
Law of inertia
Inertia--- resistence , to change motion
Change motion= force
=>stop/start
=>go faster (acceleration)
direction
2nd LAW
Law of acceleration
Fnet = Ma (acceleration)
Force (N)= Mass (kg)* Acceleration(m/s2)
1kg*1m/s2=1N
3rd LAW
Law of equal and opposite forces
Law of action- reaction
Teacher pushes on board --- action
Board pushes on teacher --- reaction

=>change

NEWTONS UNIVERSAL LAW OF GRAVITATION

Equation:

Example:
G= 6.67* 10-11
M1= 72 kg
M2= 45 kg
D= 2m
Fg= 6.67*10-11*72*45/4m
November

EXAMPLES
Fg= GM1M2/D2

Fgold= GM1M2/d2

Fgold= GM1M2/D2

G= 6.67 * 10-11
M1--- Tripled
M1= 120.5 kg
M2--- Doubled
Increased by 2
M2=23.2kg
D----- Reduced by
1/8

M1--- Quadruple
M2---

D= 52.7m
Fgnew=G(3m1)(2m2)/ D2
(2.5M2)/(1/8 D2)
Fg=6.6908*10-10n Fgnew = 24fgold
(1/64)D2
Fnew/Fold= 24/1

Fgnew= G(4M1)

D----- Reduced by

Fgnew= 10 GM1M2/
Fgnew/Fgold=640/1

WORK

Work=
Applied Force

Movement

Work = (Force) Fapp * (Displacement/ Distance) D

Newtons (NM) = Joules (J)
Power

Power= (W) Work/ (T) Time

(P) IN POWER IS WATTS !!!! = fd/t- to explain in in another way

ENERGY

In potential energy the higher the object is from the ground the
more energy it contains but if it remains on the ground then it has
0 energy.

COMPARING WORK

STUDENT A
W=450 NM= 450 J
P= 450/12= 37.5 W

STUDENT B
Cos= horizontal = x
sin= vertical = y
X= 90cos(40)= 68.9 = 69 N
Y= 90 sin(40)= 57.9 = 58 N
W= 69N * 5M
=345NM
=345 J
P= 345/8
= 43.125 W
