Formulas
V = l³
V represents volume (in cubic meters), and l is the length of the side of a cube (in meters). This formula gives the volume of a cube as the cube of its side length.
A = 6l²
A represents surface area (in square meters) and l is the length of a side of a cube (in meters). This formula calculates the total surface area of the cube.
d = m/V
d represents density (in kg/m³), m is mass (in kg), and V is volume (in m³). This formula relates mass and volume to determine density.
Ohm's Law: V = IR
V is voltage (in volts), I is current (in amperes), and R is resistance (in ohms). This law defines the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance.
F = ma
F represents force (in newtons), m is mass (in kg), and a is acceleration (in m/s²). This formula relates force, mass, and acceleration in Newton's second law.
s = ut + (1/2)at²
s is displacement (in meters), u is initial velocity (in m/s), a is acceleration (in m/s²), and t is time (in seconds). This formula calculates the displacement of an object under uniform acceleration.
v = u + at
v is final velocity (in m/s), u is initial velocity (in m/s), a is acceleration (in m/s²), and t is time (in seconds). It describes the relation between initial and final velocity with acceleration.
[F] = [M][L][T⁻²]
The dimensional formula for force (F) shows that it depends on mass (M) and acceleration (length/time²).
[v] = [L][T⁻¹]
The dimensional formula for velocity (v) indicates it is derived from length (L) over time (T).
[ρ] = [M][L⁻³]
The dimensional formula for density (ρ) indicates mass (M) per unit volume (L³), showing its relation to mass and volume.
Equations
S.I. unit of Length: meter (m)
Meter is the fundamental unit of length in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined by the distance light travels in a vacuum in 1/299,792,458 seconds.
S.I. unit of Mass: kilogram (kg)
Kilogram is the basic unit of mass in SI, defined based on the fixed numerical value of the Planck constant.
S.I. unit of Time: second (s)
Second is the base unit of time in SI, defined by a specific number of oscillations of the cesium atom's frequency.
1 km = 1000 m
This conversion shows how kilometers relate to meters, useful for converting distances.
1 m = 100 cm
This conversion indicates that one meter equals one hundred centimeters, aiding in unit conversions for length measurements.
1 L = 1000 cm³
This conversion demonstrates the relationship between liters and cubic centimeters, crucial in fluid volume measurements.
1 J = 1 kg m²/s²
This shows that one joule of energy is equivalent to one kilogram meter squared per second squared, linking energy and work.
1 N = 1 kg m/s²
This indicates that one newton of force is equal to one kilogram meter per second squared, relating force to mass and acceleration.
Frequency (f) = 1/T
f represents frequency (in hertz) and T is the period (in seconds). This equation defines frequency as the reciprocal of period.
Area (A) = πr²
A indicates the area of a circle (in square meters) where r is the radius (in meters). This formula is fundamental for calculating circular areas.
