Physics practical Cheat Sheet (DRAFT) by

This is what i used to study for my class 11th annual practical. One glance and done.

This is a draft cheat sheet. It is a work in progress and is not finished yet.

formulas

v = u + at
s = ut + 1/2​at2
v2=u2+2as
Slope of x–t → velocity
Slope of v–t → accele­ration
Area under v–t → displa­cement
F = ma
p = mv (momentum)
J = F⋅t (impulse)
f = μN
W = Fscosθ
U = mgh
K = 1/2 ​mv2
P = W/t​ (power)
τ = rFsinθ (torque)
K= 1/2 Iω2
v=rω (relation)
ω = dθ/dt
F = G⋅M⋅m​/r2
g = GM/R2​ (acc. due to g)
U = −G⋅M⋅m/r​
Stress = F/A​
Strain = ΔL/L​
Y = Stress­/Strain (young's modulus)​
P = F/A (press­ure)​
P = ρgh
F = ρgV
A1​v1​ = A2​v2​ (conti­nuity)
P + 1/2​ρv2 + ρgh = constant (berno­ulli)
Q = mcΔT
ΔQ = ΔU+W
W = PΔV
PV = nRT
x = Asin(ωt) {shm eqn.}
v = ω root(A2−x2) ​
a = −ω2x
T = 2π/ω ​
v = fλ
f = 1/T​

-Measure 4 or 3 times atleast → avg

Simple Pendulum

acc. due gravity using simple pendulum
T=2π root(l/g)
Measure time for 20 oscill­ations
metallic bob with a hook, an iron stand with a clamp, a split fork, a fine & strong thread, vernier caliper, stopclock, meter scale
What affects T? → length (NOT mass)

Calori­meter → Volume

internal diameter, depth → volume
vernier calliper, calori­meter
V=πr2h

Screw Gauge

Wire → Volume
V=πr2l

Principle of Moments (Meter Scale)

mass of body, using meter scale
meter scale, glass prism, load of unknown mass "m2", known mass m1, thread
τ = F*d
anticl­ockwise → positive​
clockwise → negative
Clockwise moment = Anticl­ockwise moment
W1​×d1­​=W­2​×d2​
 

Parall­elogram Law of Vectors

weight using vector addition
Graves­end's apparatus, 2 hangers with slotted wt., given body, strong & thin thread, sheet, drawing pins, mirror strips, half meter scale, compass
Two forces at angle → resultant is diagonal

Sonometer (Frq. of Tuning Fork)

sonometer along with hanger and slotted wt., tuning fork, rubber pad, screw gauge, paper rider
f=(1/2l)* root(T/​M)​ ​
→ T = mg (tension)
→ M = mass/l­ength of wire (linear mass density)
→ M = πr2ρ
ρ → density of brass = 8.5 g/cm3

Spring Constant (Hooke’s Law)

force of helical spring, by plotting a graph b/w load and extension
Force ∝ extension (k)
F = - k*l
k → stiffness of spring → spring const.
(-) → restoring force acts in opp. dir. to applied force
graph - strgt. line → obeys hooks law
slope = k
k = change in f/change in l

Fortin’s Barometer (atm p)

fortins barometer with att. vernier scale, meter scale
P=hρg
ρ → density of mercury
h → ht. of mercury column
Why mercury? → high density, low vapor pressure
