Let's play derived or experimentally determined

[u/ErekwithaD1]

In this game you will guess whether a formula on an AP Science test was derived or experimentally determined, to give an example Ohm's law was experimentally determined from observations and the Kinematic equations were derived from calculus.

I will give you two equation from each AP Science and you will have to guess if it was determined through experiments or derived from previous equations (assumed that definitions are considered derived)
