Basic Physics Formulas
A simple reference sheet of common physics formulas.
Motion
Speed = Distance / Time
Velocity = Displacement / Time
Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time
v = u + at
s = ut + 1/2 at²
Forces
Force = Mass × Acceleration (F = ma)
Weight = Mass × Gravity (W = mg)
Work, Energy and Power
Work = Force × Distance
Kinetic Energy = 1/2 mv²
Potential Energy = mgh
Power = Work / Time
Electricity
Voltage = Current × Resistance (V = IR)
Power = Voltage × Current (P = VI)
Waves
Wave Speed = Frequency × Wavelength
Density and Pressure
Density = Mass / Volume
Pressure = Force / Area
