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 = rl

Surface area of a sphere = 4 r 2

Volume of a sphere = 3

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

s = ut + 21 at
