Force F= ma V N dyne Spring balance
F= k x V N Hooke’ law
k= force constant
x= extension
Weight Weight = m x g V N Spring balance
g is the gravitational field
strength) g = 10 N/kg
Speed Speed= distance S m/s km/hr
Time
Average speed
= total dist m/s cm/s

total time
slope of dist time graph
gives the speed
slope of speed time graph
gives the acceleration
area under the curve of
a speed time graph
gives the distance
covered.
Velocity Velocity= displacement V m/s cm/s
Time
Acceleration Acceleration= v-u V m/s2 cm/s2 If a is negative, it is deceleration/
t negative acc/retardation
or v = u +at
v= final velocity
u= intial velocity

Wave v=fxλ m/s *approximate range of audible
equation v- speed of the wave (m/s) frequencies for a healthy human ear is
f- frequency (Hz) 20 Hz to 20 000 Hz
λ- wavelength (m)
