\mathrm{Density} = \mathrm{\frac{Mass}{Volume}}
Density:
F = \mathrm{k} \times \Delta x
Hooke's Law:
\mathrm{Pressure} = \mathrm{\frac{Force}{Area}}
\Delta T = \frac{\mathrm{Heat \ Transferred}}{\mathrm{mass} \times \mathrm{Heat \ Capacity} } = \frac{Q}{mc}
Q = mL
\mathrm{Water's \ heat \ capacity} = c_\mathrm{water} = 1 \frac{cal}{g ^{\circ}C}
Pressure:
Specific Heat Capacity:
L = \mathrm{Latent \ Heat}
Latent Heat:
First Law of Thermodynamics:
L_\mathrm{ice-water} = 80 \ cal
\Delta U = Q - W
Equations
F = m g
g \simeq 10 \ \frac{m}{s^2}
L_\mathrm{water-steam} = 540 \ cal
\mathrm{Change \ in \ Internal \ Energy} = \mathrm{Heat \ added} - \mathrm{Work}
Vibrations and Waves:
\mathrm{Frequency} = \frac{1}{\mathrm{Period}}
\mathrm{Wave \ Speed} = \mathrm{Frequency} \times \mathrm{Wave \ Length}
\mathrm{Wave \ Speed} = \frac{\mathrm{Wave \ Length}}{\mathrm{Period}}
\mathrm{Period} = \mathrm{time \ of \ a \ full \ oscillation}
