Physics Formulae
(1) Moment of force = force × perpendicular distance of force from a given point
(2) 1Nm=10⁷dynecm
(3) 1 gf= 980dynecm
(4) At equilibrium, sum of anti clockwise moment=sum of clockwise moment F1 X r1 =
F2 X r2
(5) Force=mass × acceleration F = ma
(6)Centrifugal force=(mv²)/r Where, m – mass of object, v–velocity of object
r–radius of circular path
For same turning effect , F1 X r1 = F2 X r2

Chapter2 Work, Energy and Power
(1) A. Work =force × displacement of the object in the direction of force W = F × S
B. W =FS cosθ where θ–angle between force and displacement
(2) Case1: Work is positive (Maximum) when θ=0⁰,cos0=1, Work done = FS If the
direction of force and displacement is zero then there will be maximum work done.
(3) Case2: Work is minimum (Zero) θ=90⁰, cos90⁰ =0 Work done = 0 If the
direction of force and displacement is perpendicular to each other then there will
be no work done.
(4) Case3: θ=180⁰, cos180⁰ = -1, Work done = -FS If the angle between force and
displacement is180° then there will be a negative work done.
(5) Work done by force of gravity, Work done = mgh. Where m –mass of object,
g–acceleration due to gravity=9.8m/s², h–height of object
(6) 1joule=1Newton×1 metre
(7) 1 erg=1 dyne × 1cm
(8) 1joule=10⁷erg
Power = work done / time P = W/t
(9)
(10) Power=force × average speed P = F × v
(11) 1 watt=1joule/1second
(12) 1 horsepower=746watt=0.746KW
Chapter 10 Electromagnetism
(1) F=IBL Where, F–force on conductor I – current B–magnitude of magnetic field.
L–length of conductor
(2) Frequency of house hold current = 50Hz
Chapter 11 Calorimetry
(1) 1cal =4.2J
(2) Temperature in Kelvin=273⁰+ t⁰C
(3) Heat capacity =amount of heat energy supplied/ rise in temperature
(4) Q= mcΔt Where, C–Specific heat capacity Q – heat Δt–change in temperature
(5) Relation between heat capacity and specific heat capacity - Heat capacity = mass X
specific heat capacity
(6) Specific heat capacity c=Q/(m×Δt)
(7) Heat lost by hot body=heat gained by cold body, provided no loss of energy to the
surroundings
(8) Specific latent heat(L)=Q/m Where , Q-heat energy. m – mass
(9) Electic power of kettle X time = Heat absorbed by water
Chapter12 Radioactivity
(1) E = Δm c² where, E-energy Δm – mass c-velocityof light = 3×10⁸ m/s
(2) 1a.m.u.=931MeV. Where, a.m.u– Atomic mass unit, MeV–megaelectronvolt.
