SPH3U Formula Sheet

This document provides formulas for various topics in physics including kinematics, forces, energy, waves and sound, and electricity and magnetism. It defines the following key formulas: - Net force is equal to mass times acceleration. Gravity provides a force of mass times gravity. Static and kinetic friction depend on the normal force. - Work is force times displacement. Kinetic energy is one-half mass times velocity squared. Potential energy is mass times gravity times height. - Power is the rate of doing work, defined as change in energy over change in time. Heat transfer depends on mass, specific heat, and change in temperature. - Wave velocity equals frequency times wavelength. Sound speed depends on temperature. Standing waves
