M1 - Formula to Learn

Hi All,

I am taking my M1 exam this summer, and was just wondering if somebody could provide me with a list of all the formula and little things I need to learn.

Eg the SUVAT equations and position vectors etc!

Will we still get access to the formula booklet to see the Cosine and Sine rules from C2?

P.S I am sitting with edexcel. Thanks :smile:

s = ut + 0.5a(t)^2

v^2 = u^2 + 2at

v = u + at

F = ma

r = r(0) + vt

I think there are two missing, though I can't remember them :frown:

Formulae For Mechanics You Must Know.doc

and yes you get the formula booklet but it doesn't have the sine rule or any M1 specific formulae

I've just quickly gone through my M1 text book and written up some key formulae and info that is most likely needed and thought i'd share;

General Formulae;

Cosine Rule: a² = b² + c² - 2bc Cos(A)
Sine Rule: Sin(A)/a = Sin(B)/b = Sin(C)/c

Vectors;

xi + yj (i being x-axis and j being y-axis), then R = SqRoot(x²+y²)

Position Vector D relative to C = rD - rC

The magnitude of rD - rC ( |rD - rC| ) gives the distance between D and C

Kinematics

v = u + a t

s = [½(u + v)]t

s = u t + ½ a t²

v² = u² + 2 a s

g = 9.8 ms¯²

Statics;

Fmax = µR (at the brink of movement)

Equilibrium means the Resultant Force = 0

Normal Reaction is always 90degrees to the surface

Weight = mg (mass x gravity)

Dynamics;

F=ma

Momentum = mass x velocity

Ft = I = mv - mu

m1u1+m1u1=m2v2+m2v2



as for moments; still havent gone over them yet :biggrin:
hope this helps ^^"
