In which situation is it IMPOSSIBLE for the object to be in equilibrium?
What is the equation that links acceleration (a), change in velocity (Δv) and time (t)?
Acceleration = Change in Velocity x Time, or a=Δv x t
Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time, or a=Δv/t
Acceleration = Time / Change in Velocity, or a=t/Δv
What is the equation that links acceleration (a), mass (m), and resultant force (F)?
Resultant Force = Mass x Acceleration, or F=ma
Resultant Force = Mass / Acceleration, or F=m/a
Resultant Force = Acceleration / Mass, or F=a/m
What is the equation that links kinetic energy (Ek), mass (m) and velocity (v)?
Kinetic Energy = 0.5 x Mass x Velocity², or Ek=0.5 x m x v2
Kinetic Energy = 0.5 x Mass² x Velocity, or Ek=0.5 x m2 x v
Kinetic Energy = 0.5 x Mass² / Velocity, or Ek=0.5 x m2 / v
What is the equation that links gravitational field strength (g), gravitational potential energy (Eg), height (h), and mass (m)?
Gravitational Potential Energy = Mass x Gravitational Field Strength x Height, or Eg=mgh
Gravitational Potential Energy = Mass / (Gravitational Field Strength x Height), or Eg=m/(gh)
Gravitational Potential Energy = Mass x Gravitational Field Strength / Height, or Eg=mg/h
