Term
The "Big 5"
Definition

d= 1/2 (V0 + V)t

v=v0 + at

d=v0t + 1/2at2

d=vt -1/2at2

v2=v02 + 2ad

Term
equation for kinetic energy and unit of kinetic energy
Definition

KE= 1/2mv2

 

KE in joules (J)

Term
Work-Energy Theorem
Definition
Wtotal = ΔKE
Term

If F is parallel to d, what is W?

If F is perendicular to d, what is W?

(eq)

Definition

if parallel:

W=Fd

 

if perpendicular:

W=0

Term
equation for centripetal force
Definition
Fc = m(v2/r)
Term
relationship between grav. potential energy and Work by grav.
Definition
ΔPEgrav = - WbyFgrav
Term

work by the force of gravity

(eq)

Definition
WbyFgrav = -Fgravh = -mgh
Term

change in grav. potential energy when:

 

height of m incres. by h

height of m decreas. by h

Definition

height of m increas. by h:

ΔPEgrav = mgh

 

height of m decreas. by h:

ΔPEgrav = -mgh

Term
Force of kinetic friction (eq)
Definition
Ff = μkFN
Term
Work by Force of friction
Definition
WbyFf = -Ff x d
Term
Conversion of total mechanical energy eq.
Definition
Ei = Ef
Term
modified conversion of toal mechanical energy for friction eq.
Definition
Ei + WbyF = Ef
Term
Total mechanical energy
Definition
E = KE + PE
