PHYS 111 Final Formula Sheet

Trigonometry:
gravitational acceleration g = 9.80 m/s2

a2 + b2 = c2
a2 + b2 = c2

Vector Addition:

Projectile Kinematics: metric prefixes: milli- (10-3) centi- (10-2) kilo- (103)
vx = vx0 x = x 0 + vx t

vy = v0y – gt y = y0 + v0yt – ½ gt2 vy2 = v0y2 – 2g(y – y0)

Newton’s 2nd Law: Static Friction: fs ≤ μsN, N = normal force
Fnet = ma
fs,max = μsN
Newton’s 3rd Law:
F1on2 = -F2on1 Kinetic Friction: fk = μkN

Angular velocity ω = Δθ/Δt

v = ωr

Centripetal acceleration
ac = v2/r = rω2

Centripetal force
Fc = mv2/r = mrω2

Ideally Banked Curve: tanθ = v2/gr

Gravitational attraction between masses m and M: Two objects orbiting around central mass M,
period T, average orbital radius r
