Speed = Distance / Time
Energy = Power × Time
Resistance (R) = Voltage (V) / Current (I)
Stress = Force / Area
Weight on Moon = Weight on Earth × (1/6)
Potential Energy = mgh (where m is mass, g is the acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height)
Voltage = Current × Resistance
Kinetic Energy = ½ mv²
Maximum Height (h) = (u²) / (2g), where u is the initial velocity and g is the acceleration due to gravity.
Acceleration (a) = (v - u) / t, where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, and t is time.
Work = Force × Displacement (in the direction of the force)
Energy (in kWh) = Power (in kW) × Time (in hours)
