The formulas we will be using regularly will be:
  • F=MA
  • D=1/2 gt^2
  • V=d/t
  • V=at
  • V=gt
  • P=MV
  • Impulse = ft
  • Ft = delta MV
  • V=freq x wavelength
  • MV=MV
  • Power = work/t
  • w=fd
  • KE = 1/2 mv^2
  • gPE = mgh
  • Efficiency (wo/wi) x 100 
  • Period = time/vibration 
  • Freq = vibration/sec
