Formula list

Area and volume formulae

Where r is the radius of the sphere or cone, l is the slant height of a cone and h is the
perpendicular height of a cone:

Curved surface area of a cone = πrl

Surface area of a sphere = 4πr2

Volume of a sphere = 4 πr3

Kinematics formulae

Where a is constant acceleration, u is initial velocity, v is final velocity, s is displacement from the
position when t = 0 and t is time taken:

v = u + at

1
s = ut + 2 at2

v2 = u2 + 2as
