Mathematical Review The following formulas are used to help us solve Physics problems: F = ma ( Newton’s Second Law) PE = mgh ( Potential formula) KE = ½ mv2 ( Kinetic energy) W = f xd ( Work) Vavg = d/t ( Velocity) Aavg = v/t (Acceleration) 7/17/2019 http://abynum.weebly.com

Math Review Suppose you had a problem in physics and you had to solve for mass in the potential energy formula. ( PE = mgh) Step 1 ….. PE = mgh Step 2 ….. Rewrite the formula: mgh = PE Step 3 …. Divide both sides by gh Step 4 …. m = PE/gh 7/17/2019 http://abynum.weebly.com

Math Review Suppose you wanted to solve for acceleration in the formula (F = ma): Step 1 …. Write the formula: F = ma Step 2 …. Rewrite the formula as: ma = F Step 3 …. Divide both sides by a: Step 4 …. After dividing, then the formula is m = F/a 7/17/2019 http://abynum.weebly.com
