CALCULATOR CATEGORY

Physics calculators

Match every quantity to its labeled unit before calculating. The model stated below may assume ideal components, constant acceleration, or classical mechanics; check that those assumptions fit the situation.

• Force

  Apply Newton’s second law to mass and acceleration.

• Kinetic energy

  Calculate translational energy from mass and speed.

• Gravitational potential energy

  Estimate energy above a reference height.

• Momentum

  Calculate linear momentum for one object.

• Mechanical work

  Calculate work for a constant force and displacement.

• Power from energy

  Find average power over a time interval.

• Ohm’s law

  Calculate current through a resistance.

• Electrical power

  Calculate DC electrical power from voltage and current.

• Pressure

  Calculate pressure from force and contact area.

• Density

  Find density from mass and volume.

• Wave speed

  Relate frequency, wavelength, and propagation speed.

• Frequency from period

  Convert the time per cycle to frequency.

• Average acceleration

  Compare starting and final velocity over time.

• Free-fall time

  Estimate falling time from rest without air resistance.

• Spring force

  Apply Hooke’s law to a spring displacement.
