KEY CONNECTIONS

Formulas

h = v_{0} t \pm \frac{g t ^{2}}{2}

h = v₀t ± gt²/2

h = \frac{v ^{2} - v _{0} ^{2}}{\pm 2 g}

h = (v² − v₀²) / (±2g)

h = \frac{v _{0} + v}{2} t

h = (v₀ + v)t / 2

p = ρ g h

p = ρgh

V = S h

V = Sh

NOTATION

$h$: Height - vertical distance from the selected level.
$v_0$: Initial speed - the speed of the body at the selected initial moment.
$t$: Time is a quantity characterizing the duration and sequence of events.
$g$: Gravity acceleration is the acceleration of a body under the influence of gravity without taking into account the resistance of the medium.
$v$: Speed is the speed and direction of change in body position.
$p$: Pressure is the force per unit surface area.
$\rho$: Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume.
$V$: Volume is the size of the area of space occupied by a body.
$S$: Area is the size of a surface or cross section.
