2 2 The speed distance - time equation. d = distance travelled, in metres (m) v = average velocity, in metres per second (m/s) t = time taken for trip, in seconds (s) This equation is only used when the velocity is constant, or for an average velocity. If the velocity is changing, use the area under a speed time graph to calculate distance.

3 3

4 4 To calculate constant or average acceleration. a = acceleration of object, in metres per second per second (m/s 2 ) Δv = change in velocity of object, in metres per second (m/s) t = time for change in velocity to occur, in seconds (s) Use this equation when the question gives you a change in speed, rather than initial and final speeds.

5 5

6 6 To calculate constant or average acceleration. a = acceleration of object, in metres per second per second (m/s 2 ) v = final velocity of object, in metres per second (m/s) u = initial velocity of object, in metres per second (m/s) t = time for change in velocity to occur, in seconds (s) Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.

7 7

8 8 To calculate the weight of an object. W = weight of object, in Newton (N) m = mass of object, in kilograms (kg) g = gravitational field strength, in newton per kilogram (N/kg) Weight is a force. The weight of an object is the force on it due to a planet s gravitational pull. If an object weighs 100 N on Earth, it weighs 0 N in space (no gravity) and 16 N on the moon. Gravitational field strength of a planet is the weight per unit mass of an object on that planet. The value of g on Earth is 10 N/kg. The mass of an object is the amount of stuff in the object. The mass remains constant anywhere in the universe. An object with mass 10 kg on earth will have a mass of 10 kg in space and a mass of 10 kg on the moon.

9 9

10 10 The equation for Newton s Second Law. F = unbalanced force acting on body, in newton (N) m = mass of body, in kilograms (kg) a = acceleration of body, in metres per second per second (m/s 2 ) The unbalanced force is the resultant of all forces acting on a body. Forces can change the shape, speed and direction of motion of an object. When the force stays constant and the mass increases, the acceleration decreases. When the mass stays constant and the force increases, the acceleration increases.

11 11

12 12 To calculate work done by a force. Ew = work done, in joules (J) or newton metres (Nm) F = force applied, in newton (N) d = distance moved by force, in metres (m) Work done is a measure of energy transferred.

13 13

14 14 To calculate change in gravitational potential energy. Ep = change in gravitational potential energy, in joules (J) m = mass, in kilograms (kg) g = gravitational field strength, in newton per kilogram (N/kg) h = vertical height moved, in metres (m) Gravitational potential energy is the energy required to move a mass upwards through a height. It is also the energy transferred when an object drops though a height. In this case, the energy is usually converted to kinetic energy.

15 15

16 16 To calculate kinetic energy. Ek = kinetic energy of the body, in joules (J) m = mass of the body, in kilograms (kg) v = velocity of the body, in metres per second (m/s) Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by moving objects. Note: only the velocity is squared not the mass!

17 17

18 18 To calculate the power of both mechanical and electrical systems. P = power, in watts (W) E = energy transferred, in joules (J) t = time taken, in seconds (s) Power is the energy transferred in one second. Power can also be expressed in joules per second (J/s).

19 19

20 20 To calculate energy efficiency. useful Eo = useful energy output, in joules (J) Ei = total energy input, in joules (J) The Law on Conservation of Energy states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. However, only some of the energy changed in a process is useful. The rest is usually wasted as heat. An energy efficient light bulb has an efficiency of around 50%. Half of the electrical energy input comes out as light, the rest is wasted mainly as heat.

21 21

22 22 To calculate power efficiency. percentage efficiency = efficiency of system, in %. useful Po = useful output power, in watts (W) Pi = input energy, in watts (W)

23 23

24 24 To calculate the energy transfer for substances changing temperature. The substance does not change state. Eh = energy transferred in changing temperature of substance, in joules (J) c = specific heat capacity of substance, in joules per kilogram per degree Celsius (J/kg 0 C) m = mass of substance, in kilograms (kg) ΔT = change in temperature of substance, in degree Celsius ( 0 C) For water, c = 4180 J/kg 0 C. This means that it takes 4180 J of energy to heat up 1 kg of water by 1 0 C. Or, 1 kg of water will give out 4180 J of energy if it cools by 1 0 C.

25 25

26 26 To calculate the energy transfer for substances changing state. The temperature remains constant. Eh = energy needed to change state, in joules (J) m = mass which changed state, in kilograms (kg) l = specific latent heat, in joules per kilogram (J/kg) A substance has 2 specific latent heats: lv = specific latent heat of vaporisation (for boiling/condensing) lf = specific latent heat of fusion (for melting/solidifying) For water, lv = 3.34 x 10 5 J/kg; lf = 2.26 x 10 6 J/kg This means that it takes 3.34 x 10 5 J of energy to change 1 kg of water to steam. Or, 1 kg of steam will give out 3.34 x 10 5 J of energy when condensing to water.

This is done by operating the transmission lines at a high voltage. Transformers which increase voltage are called step-up transformers. Transformers which reduce voltage are called step-down transformers.

47 47
