Things to remember for AS Mechanics

The SUVAT Equations

  • V=U+AT
  • S=left(frac{U+V}{2}right)T
  • V^2=U^2+2AS
  • S=UT+frac{1}{2}AT^2
  • S=VT-frac{1}{2}AT^2

Variable Acceleration

  • {bf v}=frac{d{bf r}}{dt}
  • {bf a}=frac{d{bf v}}{dt}=frac{d^2{bf r}}{dt^2}
  • {bf v}=int{bf a}dt
  • {bf r}=int{bf v}dt=intleft(int{bf a}dtright)dt

Other

  • Gravity: g=9.8m/s^2
  • Resultant Force: F=ma
  • Friction: Fleq mu R, at maximum when object is moving or about to move.
