n, where where
k

is the coefficient of static friction and n is the magnitude of the normal force.

kn,

is the coefficient of kinetic friction.

where Fx is the component of force in the x direction

- The kinetic energy of a particle of mass m moving with a speed v is

- The work-kinetic energy theorem

- If a friction force acts, the kinetic energy of the system is reduced and the appropriate equation to be applied is

If a particle of mass m is at a distance y above the Earth's surface, the gravitational potential energy is

The elastic potential energy stored in a spring of force constant k is

Linear momentum p of a particle of mass m moving with a velocity v

Total momentum of the system at all times equals its initial total momentum

The impulse imparted to a particle by a force F is equal to the change in the momentum of the particle:

The moment of inertia of a system of particles is defined as

Parallel axis theorem: I = ICM + Md2

The torque due to a force F about an origin in an inertial frame is defined to be

Given two vectors A and B, the cross product A x B is a vector C having a magnitude

The angular momentum L of a particle having linear momentum p = mv is

where r is the vector position of the particle relative to an origin in an inertial frame. The net external torque acting on a system is:
