1. FORCES & MOTION
SPEED How far we have travelled
VELOCITY Overall distance moved from point a to
B
ACCELERATI
ON
FORCE Force = mass ( in kg) x acceleration ( in F=m.a
m/s²)
WEIGHT Weight = Mass x Gravitational field W= m . g
strength
Is the force of gravity acting on an
object
Mass is the amount of matter in an
object
MOMENTUM Momentum ( Ns) = mass ( kg) x Momentum = m .v
velocity ( m/s)
PRESSURE If a force ( N) is applied over a smaller Pressure = force
area ( m²) , you get a larger pressure Area
( N/m²) ,
If a force is applied over a larger area, Pressure = F
you get a smaller pressure area
2. ENERGY
GRAVITATIONAL POTENTIAL It comes from a height, GPE = m.g. h
ENERGY otherwise there is no
(GPE) gravitational energy Where m.g = weight
Therefore we
need height.
KINETIC ENERGY KE = ½ mv2
(KE)
CONSERVATION OF ENERGY =
Energy is never lost, only transformed ( in other form of energy ) or
wasted ( heat / sound energy )
WORK DONE Work is done whenever W=F.d
something is moved
- So you need
mass and
- Displacement
( distance
moved)
= energy
transformed
= force x displacement
POWER The rate at which work Power = useful work done
is done time taken
POWER Power = energy transformed
time taken
power = F. d
time
taken
EFFICIENCY Energy transformed = Efficiency = Useful Output
Useful energy + heat Total Input
energy
So not every
work done is Efficiency = useful work done
evenly Energy
successful. input
They have a
different Efficiency = useful energy

Efficiency = useful power
