Step by Step
1.Using the equation PE=mgh, to solve for g you should
I. (Multiply or Divide?) both sides of the equation by m
II. (Multiply or Divide?) both sides of the equation by h.
g=
2.Using the equation I=V/R, to solve for R you should
I.(Multiply or Divide) both sides of the equation by R.
II.(Multiply or Divide) both sides of the equation by I.
R=
3. Using the equation ME = PE + KE, to solve for PE you should
I.(Add or Subtract) KE from both sides of the equation.
PE =
4. Using the equation KE = ½ mv2, to solve for v you should
I.(Multiply or Divide) both sides of the equation by 2.
II.(Multiply or Divide) both sides of the equation by m.
III. (Square or Take the squareroot) both sides of the equation.
v=
