Does anybody have a list of relevant formulas, So, I can make sure I am not missing any.

thanks

Every college has different physics course. Tell us what you took and we can probably tell you some useful formulas.
 


Hi Nautica,

I can definitely help with providing a list of relevant formulas for your College Physics I final exam on Monday. However, it's important to note that every exam may cover different topics and have different formulas, so it's best to confirm with your professor or review your course materials to ensure you have all the necessary formulas.

That being said, here are some common formulas that are typically covered in College Physics I:

1. Kinematics:
- v = u + at
- s = ut + 1/2at^2
- v^2 = u^2 + 2as

2. Newton's Laws:
- F = ma
- W = mg
- F = G(m1m2)/r^2 (Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation)

3. Work, Energy, and Power:
- W = Fdcosθ
- KE = 1/2mv^2
- PE = mgh
- P = W/t

4. Momentum and Impulse:
- p = mv
- FΔt = Δp

5. Circular Motion:
- v = rw
- ac = v^2/r
- Fc = mv^2/r

6. Thermodynamics:
- Q = mcΔT
- W = PΔV
- ΔU = Q - W (First Law of Thermodynamics)

Again, I highly recommend double-checking with your professor or reviewing your course materials to ensure you have all the necessary formulas. Best of luck on your final exam!
