Energy is measured in joules.
F = ma = 5 × 2 = 10 N.
v = u + at = 5 + 6 = 11 m/s.
V = IR = 2 × 6 = 12 V.
KE = ½ × 2 × 9 = 9 J.
W = Fd = 60 J.
f = 1 ÷ T = 2 Hz.
Speed has magnitude only.
The value is (6 × 3) ÷ 9 = 2 Ω.
It brings parallel rays together.
Light slows down in the denser medium and bends toward the normal.
W = mg = 50 N.
One watt is one joule per second.
v² = 2as = 36, so v = 6 m/s.
Power = work ÷ time = 60 W.
R = V ÷ I = 4 Ω.
T = 1 ÷ f = 0.2 s.
Pressure = force ÷ area = 200 Pa.
Sound needs a medium, and electromagnetic waves do not.
The action acts on one body and the reaction acts on the other.
Mass = density × volume = 400 kg.
Current = charge ÷ time = 3 A.
It brings parallel rays together.
Each half-life halves the amount.
