Formulas
d= t x s
s=d/t
Work = effort x distance
P= (FxD)/T
d=1/2 g x t2
Vf=g x t where g = 32 ft/sec.2 or g = 9.8 m/sec.2
Power = work / time
W= FxD
F=MxA
1. Newton’s 1st Law of Motion, Law of Inertia
2. Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion, F=MA
3. Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion, Equal and Opposite Forces
MA = the number of ropes –1 is the formula for the MA of pulley.
MA = Single moveable pulley is 2
MA = effort arm length
= is the formula for the MA of lever.
resistance arm length
MA = effort distance = length = is the formula for the MA of inclined plane .
resistance dist. height
MA = more threads = higher MA is the rule for the MA of screw .
Fewer threads = lower MA
MA = wheel diameter = is the formula for the MA of Wheel and Axle.
axle diameter
