Physics

  1. π = ___ degrees
    180
  2. ω:
    angular speed. Similar to velocity
  3. ω =
    Δθ/Δt
  4. Vt=
    rω

    (tangential speed)
  5. P:
    Period. Time it takes to complete one revolution.
  6. f:
    Frequency. How many revolutions per second
  7. Formula for frequency:
    f=1/T
  8. α:
    angular acceleration
  9. Formula for angular acceleration
    α=Δω/Δt
  10. Ac:
    centripetal acceleration. Moves towards center of circle.
  11. Law of gravitation
    Fg=Gm1m2/r2

    • r: disance between m1 and m2
    • G=6.67 x 10-11
  12. Fc:
