Other compound measures (Edexcel GCSE Maths): Flashcards

Combine two or more basic measurements together

Force applied over a specific area

N/cm² and N/m²

$\text{Pressure} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Area}}$

$\text{Force} = \text{Pressure} \times \text{Area}$

$\text{Area} = \frac{\text{Force}}{\text{Pressure}}$

Time is in the denominator (bottom unit)

$\text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

$\frac{\text{Height}}{\text{Time}}$

$\frac{\text{Volume}}{\text{Time}}$

$\frac{\text{Salary}}{\text{Time}}$
