Physics Formulas Sheet

A handy revision sheet of key physics formulas — motion, forces, energy, electricity, and more.

Motion (Kinematics)

Velocityv = u + atu = initial, a = acceleration, t = time
Displacements = ut + ½at²
Velocity²v² = u² + 2as
Average velocityv̄ = (u + v) / 2

Forces & Momentum

Newton's 2nd lawF = ma
WeightW = mg
Momentump = mv
ImpulseF·t = Δp
Frictionf = μNμ = coefficient of friction

Work, Energy & Power

Work doneW = F·s·cosθ
Kinetic energyKE = ½mv²
Potential energyPE = mgh
PowerP = W / t = F·v

Electricity

Ohm's lawV = IR
Electrical powerP = VI = I²R
ChargeQ = It
EnergyE = Pt
Resistors in seriesR = R₁ + R₂ + …
Resistors in parallel1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + …

Waves & Gravitation

Wave speedv = fλ
Frequency & periodT = 1 / f
Gravitational forceF = GMm / r²
Centripetal forceF = mv² / r

Heat

Heat gained/lostQ = mcΔTc = specific heat capacity
Latent heatQ = mL
Ideal gas lawPV = nRT

🔬How to use this formula sheet

This physics formula sheet gathers the equations you use most in school and early college physics, grouped by topic so they're quick to find during revision. Each formula lists what its symbols mean where it helps. Keep it open while you practise problems, or print the page for a wall reference.

💡Revision tips

  • Don't just memorise — practise rearranging each formula to solve for any variable.
  • Always check your units; a formula only works when quantities are in consistent units.
  • Learn what each symbol represents, not just the letters, so you can spot which formula a question needs.

💡 Frequently Asked Questions
