PHYSICS REVIEWER (SHS Level)

1. Branches of Physics

Mechanics – motion and forces


Thermodynamics – heat and temperature
Waves & Optics – sound, light
Electricity & Magnetism – charges and circuits
Modern Physics – atoms, nuclear physics

2. Physical Quantities

Scalar – magnitude only


Distance, speed, mass, time

Vector – magnitude + direction


Displacement, velocity, acceleration, force

3. Motion

Distance vs Displacement

Distance – total path traveled

Displacement – shortest straight-line distance

Speed vs Velocity

Speed = distance ÷ time

Velocity = displacement ÷ time

Acceleration

> a = (v − u) / t
4. Equations of Motion

v = u + at

s = ut + ½at²

v² = u² + 2as

Where:
u = initial velocity
v = final velocity
a = acceleration
t = time
s = displacement

5. Newton’s Laws of Motion

First Law (Inertia)


●​ An object stays at rest or in motion unless acted upon by a force.

Second Law

> F = ma

Third Law
●​ For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

6. Types of Forces

●​ Gravitational force
●​ Frictional force
●​ Tension force
●​ Normal force
●​ Applied force

7. Work, Energy, and Power

Work

> W = Fd
Energy

Kinetic Energy = ½mv²

Potential Energy = mgh

Power

>P=W/t

8. Law of Conservation of Energy


Energy cannot be created or destroyed—only transformed.

9. Momentum

> p = mv

Law of Conservation of Momentum Total momentum before collision = total momentum after
collision.

10. Heat and Temperature

Heat – energy transferred due to temperature difference


Temperature – measure of hotness or coldness

●​ Heat Transfer
●​ Conduction
●​ Convection
●​ Radiation

11. Waves

Types of Waves
●​ Transverse
●​ Longitudinal

Wave Equation
> v = fλ

Where:
v = wave speed
f = frequency
λ = wavelength

12. Sound
●​ Needs a medium
●​ Faster in solids, slower in gases

Pitch → frequency

Loudness → amplitude

13. Light
●​ Travels as a wave
●​ Speed of light = 3 × 10⁸ m/s

Reflection
●​ Angle of incidence = angle of reflection

Refraction
●​ Bending of light when it passes through different media

14. Electricity
●​ Electric Charge
●​ Positive and negative

Current

>I=Q/t

Voltage

> V = IR (Ohm’s Law)

Resistance Opposition to the flow of current


15. Magnetism
●​ Like poles repel, unlike poles attract
●​ Magnetic field surrounds magnets and current-carrying wires

16. SI Units (Common)

Length – meter (m)

Mass – kilogram (kg)

Time – second (s)

Force – newton (N)

Energy – joule (J)

Power – watt (W)
