Formula highlights
Force
F = m x a
Momentum
p = m x v
Mechanics map
Use this pack as a quick way to keep the main mechanics quantities connected: force changes motion, work transfers energy, power describes rate, and momentum and energy capture different aspects of motion.
Formula highlights
- Force: F = ma
- Work: W = Fd (for aligned force and displacement in simple cases)
- Power: P = W / t
- Momentum: p = mv
- Kinetic energy: KE = 0.5mv^2
- Potential energy: PE = mgh
Unit reminders
- Force -> newtons
- Work and energy -> joules
- Power -> watts
- Momentum -> kg m/s
Worked examples
500 J of work in 10 s corresponds to 50 W average power.
Doubling speed quadruples kinetic energy for the same mass.
Quick interpretation checks
- Ask whether the quantity describes amount or rate.
- Check whether the unit matches the physical meaning.
- Use proportional reasoning before trusting exact arithmetic.
