GENERAL PHYSICS – UNIT 1

distance
1. speed =
time

displacement
2. velocity =
time

3. Acceleration = (v-u)/t

4. Weight=mass × gravitational field strength=mg

mass m
5. density = ρ= x
volime V
6. force=mass ×acceleration F=ma
7. Hooke’s law,
F⋉x
F = kx
Force = spring constant × extension.
8. Moment of force = force X perpendicular distance = Fd.
9. Conditions for equilibrium ,
Clockwise moments = anticlockwise moments
F1d1=F2d2
10. Momentum = mass × velocity
P= mv
11. Impulse = force × time

Impulse = Ft
=m×a×t
v−u
=m × ×t
t

12. Impulse = mv- mu

13. Principle of conservation of momentum,
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision.
