Hookes Law

Hookes law states that the force, F

applied to a spring is directly
proportional to the springs extension
or compression, x, provided the elastic
limit is not exceeded.
Newtons first law of motion
Newtons first law of motion states
that a body will either remain at rest
or continue with constant velocity
unless it is acted on by an external
unbalanced force.
Newtons second law of motion
Newtons second law of motion states
that the acceleration a body
experiences is directly proportional to
the net force acting on it, and
inversely proportional to its mass.
F =ma
Newtons third law of motion
Newtons third law of motion states
that to every action there is an equal
but opposite reaction.
Law of Flotation
Law of floatation states that the
weight of an object floating on the
surface of a liquid is equal to the
weight of water displaced by the
object.(weight of object = weight of
water displaced)
Boyles Law
Boyles Law states that the pressure of
a fixed mass of gas is inversely
proportionalto its volume provided the
temperature of the gas is kept
constant(PV = k)
Pressure Law
The pressure law states that the
pressure of a fixed mass of gas is
directlyproportional to its absolute
temperature (in Kelvin), provided the
volume of the gasis kept constant(P/T
= k)
Charles Law
Charles law states that the volume of
a fixed mass of gas is directly

proportional to its absolute

temperature (in Kelvin), provided the
pressure of the gas is kept constant
(V/T = k)
Laws of Reflection
-the angle of incidence, i, is equal to
the angle of reflection, r (i = r)
-the incident ray, normal and reflected
ray will all lie in the same plane
Law of Refraction
-The incident ray and the refracted ray
are on the opposite sides of the
normal at the point of incidence, all
three lie in the same plane
-Obey Snells law

Snells Law
The value of sin i is a constant.
sin r
Ohms Law
Ohms law states that the electric
current,I flowing through a
conductor is directly proportional to
the potential difference across the
ends of conductor, if temperature
and other physical
conditions remain constant. That is,
VI
Faradays Law
The magnitude of the induced
electromotive force (e.m.f.) is
directly proportional to therate of
change of magnetic flux linkage
with the solenoid or the rate
at which a conductorcuts through
the magnetic flux.
Lenzs Law
Lenzs law states that an
induced electric current always
flows in such a direction so as
tooppose the change (or motion)
producing it.

momentum will equal the total final

momentum.
Pascals Principle
Pascals principle states that a
pressure applied to a confined fluid is
transmitted uniformly in all directions
throughout the fluid.
Archimedes principle
Archimedes principle states that the
buoyant force on a body immersed in
a fluid is equal to the weight of the
fluid displaced by that object(buoyant
force = weight of water displaced)
Principle of conservation of
energy
Principle of conservation of energy
states that total energy in an isolated
system is neither increased nor
decreased by any
transformation. Energy cannot be
created nor destroyed, but it can be
transformed from one kind to another,
and the total amount stays the same.
Principle of conservation of
momentum
The principle of conservation of
momentum states that, in any collision
or interaction between two or more
objects in an isolated system, the total
momentum of the system will remain
constant; that is, the total initial

Bernoullis principle
Bernoullis principle states that the
pressure of a moving fluid decreases
as the speed of the fluid increases,
and the converse is also true

Principle of superposition
Principle of superposition states
that at any instant, the wave
displacement of the combined
motion of any number
of interacting waves at a point is
the sum of the displacements of all
the
Components waves at that point.
