Formulas

Work Done by a Force

W = F·d·cosθ

W = F⃗ · d⃗ (dot product)

W = ΣF(x)·Δx (variable force)

W_gravity = mgh (downward motion) or W_gravity = -mgh (upward motion)

W_spring = ½kx²

Power

P = W/t = ΔW/Δt

P_instantaneous = dW/dt = F·v·cosθ

1 hp = 746 W

Kinetic Energy and Work-Energy Theorem

KE = ½mv²

W_net = ΔKE = KE_f - KE_i = ½mv₂² - ½mv₁²

p = mv and KE = p²/2m

Potential Energy

PE_gravity = mgh

PE_spring = ½kx²

F_spring = -kx (Hooke's Law)
