The most important formula to know when working with triangles is the Pythagorean Theorem.

A^2=B^2+C^2

You can use this formula when collecting or analyzing data for your entry into a online science fair contest.

Straight line motion is calculated as follows:

a=(v2-v1)/t

where:

a= acceleration

t= time

v1= initial speed

v2=final speed

Acceleration is the change in an object’s velocity over time. It is calculated using the formula: acceleration = change in speed/time interval.

This formula will be useful in your fuel cell car science fair projects.
