For ALL exam papers for Combined Science (Physics) iGCSE:
average speed = | total distance moved |
total time taken |
v = | s |
t |
acceleration = | change in velocity |
time taken |
a = | Δv |
t |
gravitational field strength = | weight |
mass |
g = | W |
m |
density = | mass |
volume |
ρ = | m |
V |
force= mass x acceleration
F = m a
work done (change in energy) = force x distance moved (in direction of force)
W = ΔE = F d
Power = | work done (or energy transferred) |
time taken |
P = | W (or ΔE) |
t |
kinetic energy = ½ x mass x (speed)2
K.E. = ½ m v2
gravitational energy = mass x gravitational field strength x height
G.P.E. = m g h
efficiency = | useful energy/power output | x 100% |
total energy/power input |
pressure |
= | force |
area |
p = | F |
A |
wave velocity = frequency x wavelength
v = ƒ λ
current = | charge |
time |
I = | Q |
t |
resistance = | voltage |
current |
R = | V |
I |
Rtotal = R1 + R2 + .....
1 | = | 1 | + | 1 |
Rtotal | R1 | R2 |
power = current x voltage
P = I V
energy = current x voltage x time
E = I V t
average orbital speed = | 2 x π x orbital radius |
