Speed of Waves --Speed (v) = Frequency (f) x Wavelength (λ) Ideal Gas Law (pressure and volume) --PV=nRT. P- pressure V- volume n- amount of gas R- gas constant T- temperature of the gas Acceleration caused by gravity --9.8 meters per second squared Law of Force vs Mass (Newton's 2nd Law) --The rate of change of an object is proportional to its mass and the force acting upon it. F=ma. F-force m-mass a-acceleration Speed --rate of change of distance traveled (s=d/t) Specific Heat --Q= cm (ΔT). Q- heat added c- specific heat m-mass ΔT-change in temperature Density --the measure of matter per units of volume. D=m/v Force of Gravity --measure of both mass and pressure. weight of an object is a function of the mass and the pull of gravity upon it.
