SI Units

  1. Length: Meter (m)
  2. Mass: Kilogram (kg)
  3. Time: Second (s)
  4. Temperature: Kelvin (K)
  5. Electric Current: Ampere (A)
  6. Amount of Substance: Mole (mol)

Fundamental Constants

  1. Speed of Light in Vacuum (c): $$(3 \times 10^8) m/s$$
  2. Planck’s Constant (h): $$(6.626 \times 10^{-34}) Js$$
  3. Avogadro’s Number (Nₐ): $$(6.022 \times 10^{23}) mol⁻¹$$
  4. Gravitational Constant (G): $$(6.674 \times 10^{-11}) Nm²/kg²$$

Formulas

  1. Distance traveled ((d)) = Speed ((v)) × Time ((t))
  2. Speed $$((v)) = (\frac{d}{t})$$
  3. Acceleration $((a)) = (\frac{{\Delta v}}{t})$$
  4. Newton’s Second Law: (F = ma)
  5. Work ((W)) = Force ((F)) × Displacement ((d)) × cos(θ)
  6. Power $$((P)) = (\frac{W}{t})$$
  7. Kinetic Energy $$((KE)) = (\frac{1}{2}mv^2)$$
  8. Potential Energy ((PE)) = mgh (near the surface of the Earth)
  9. Ohm’s Law: (V = IR)
  10. Coulomb’s Law: $$(F = \frac{k|q_1q_2|}{r^2})$$
  11. Electric Power ((P)) = (VI)

Dimensional Analysis

  1. In dimensional analysis, ensure that the dimensions (units) on both sides of an equation are consistent.

Significant Figures

  1. When performing calculations with measured values, maintain the correct number of significant figures in your answers.
