CH 11
CH 12
Newton’s 2nd Law
Weight (resistance in free fall) W = mg
Momentump = mass • velocity or p = m • v
CH 14
WorkW = F x D
Power
CH 15
Kinetic Energy
Gravitational Potential Energy(PE) = mgh
Conservation of Mechanical Energy(KE – PE)beginning = (KE + PE) end
CH 16
Specific HeatQ = m x c x T
CH 17
Speed of wavesv = f • Speed = wavelength x frequency
In a time of one period, the wave has moved a distance of one wavelength. Combining this information with the equation for speed (speed = distance/time), it can be said that the speed of a wave is also the wavelength/period.
CH 18
Wave SpeedSpeed of light = 3.00 x 108 m/s
Frequency Frequency = Speed/Wavelengthf = v/
CH 20
Ohm’s LawV = I x R or I = V/R
