What you need to do

Although you will be given all of these equations in the exam, you will be expected to be familar with using them in different situations. You should:

> a make sure you understand the meaning of each of the symbols including this one Δ which is called delta

> b make sure you are able to rearrange all of these equations so that any one of the symbols are made the subject.

Motion

v =u + at
x= ut +1/2at2
v2=u2 + 2ax

Forces and Moments

Moment of F about O= F x( perpendicular distance from F to O)
Sum of anticlockwise moments about any point=Sum of clockwise moments about that point

Dynamics

F= mΔv/Δt=Δp/Δt
Impulse=FxΔt=Δp

Mechanical energy

Power P=F x ν

Radioactive decay and the nuclear atom

Activity A=λN
Half-life t½= 0.69/λ
