Formula:
Density
Density = mass / volume
Formula
Pressure
Pressure = Force / Area
OR
Pressure = density x gravity x height
Formula:
Hooke’s law
Force = spring constant x extension
What is Hooke’s law
The extension of a material is directly proportional to its applied force
Formula:
Strain
Strain = extension / original length
Formula:
Stress
Stress = Force / Area
Formula:
Young’s modulus
Young’s modulus = stress / strain
Define Young’s modulus
The ratio of stress to strain is the young modulus and this tells us the stiffness of the material
Formula:
Elastic potential energy
E = 1/2 Force x extension
What is elastic potential energy
Potential energy stored in an object as result of its deformation
