KEY CONNECTIONS
Formulas
t = S / v
t = |v − v₀| / a
t = √(2h / g)
t = √(2S / a)
t = m / (kI)
τ = τ₀ / √(1 − v²/c²)
NOTATION
Quantities in formulas
- Time is a quantity characterizing the duration and sequence of events.
- Distance - the length of the space between selected points.
- Speed is the speed and direction of change in body position.
- Initial speed - the speed of the body at the selected initial moment.
- Acceleration is the rate of change in the speed of a body.
- Height - vertical distance from the selected level.
- Gravity acceleration is the acceleration of a body under the influence of gravity without taking into account the resistance of the medium.
- Mass is a scalar physical quantity that is a measure of the inertia of a body.
- Electrochemical equivalent is the mass of a substance released by a unit charge.
- Current strength is the charge passing through the cross section of a conductor per unit time.
- Proper time is time measured in the reference system associated with the object.
- The speed of light in a vacuum is the maximum speed of propagation of interactions.
