Applied Physics Cheat Sheet: Mechanics and Thermal Physics

Applied Physics Cheat Sheet (Ch. 7–17)

Side A — Mechanics

Work

Work: The product of force and displacement in the direction of the force.

Important ideas:

  • No displacement → no work
  • Force perpendicular to motion → no work

Formula: W = Fd

Units: Joules (J)

Power

Power: The rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.

Formula: P = W / t

Units: Watts (W)

Energy

Energy: The ability to do work.

Energy can change forms, but total energy remains constant (Conservation of Energy).

Forms include:

  • Kinetic
  • Potential
  • Thermal
  • Chemical
  • Nuclear

Financial Analysis: Trends, Solvency, and Cash Flow

1. Trend Analysis

Trend analysis is a financial tool used to study the direction of business performance over a period of time. It compares financial data (such as sales, profit, expenses, and assets) from several years to identify whether they are increasing, decreasing, or remaining stable. It is useful because it highlights long-term patterns rather than one-year changes.

Key Features

  • Shows growth or decline over time
  • Helps in planning and forecasting
  • Makes year-to-year comparison easier
  • Helps identify

Mastering Conditional Probability and Markov Models

Conditional Probability

Instead of saying: “The chance of rain given I saw a wet umbrella,” we write it as: P(rain | wet umbrella).

The Difference in One Sentence

QuestionFilter First?Divide By
P(ice cream | sunny)YES, only look at sunny daysNumber of sunny days (5)
P(sunny AND ice cream)NO, look at everythingTotal days (10)

Think of It This Way 🧠

  • AND = out of the whole world.
  • GIVEN = out of a smaller filtered world.

So now you know two things:

  • P(A | B) = out of only the B days, how many have A (divide
