Unit 3 Formula Sheet


Work W = ( F cos ) S
Potential Energy PEgravity = - G M m / R
PEelastic = (1/2)k x2
On the surface of the Earth

g = G ME / RE 2

G = 6.67 * 10 -11 N m2 / kg2
ME = 5.98 * 10 24 kg
RE = 6.37 * 10 6 m
g = 9.8 m / s2
Kinetic Energy KE = (1/2) m V2
Work-Energy
Theorem
W = Wc + Wnc = KEf - KE0
Wgravity = PE0 - PEf
Welastic = PE0 - PEf
Wc = Wgravity + Welastic
Total Mechanical
Energy
E = KE + PEgravity + PEelastic
Linear Momentum p = m v
p = F t
Power P = W / t
P = F v cos
1 watt (W) = 1 joule/s
1 housepower (hp) = 746 W
Impulse Impulse = F t
Impulse-Momentum
Theorem
Ft = m Vf - m V0
Thrust T = - (m /t ) ( Vf - V0 )
Pendulum
