Physics Formulas Sheet
A handy revision sheet of key physics formulas — motion, forces, energy, electricity, and more.
Motion (Kinematics)
| Velocity | v = u + at | u = initial, a = acceleration, t = time |
| Displacement | s = ut + ½at² | |
| Velocity² | v² = u² + 2as | |
| Average velocity | v̄ = (u + v) / 2 |
Forces & Momentum
| Newton's 2nd law | F = ma | |
| Weight | W = mg | |
| Momentum | p = mv | |
| Impulse | F·t = Δp | |
| Friction | f = μN | μ = coefficient of friction |
Work, Energy & Power
| Work done | W = F·s·cosθ |
| Kinetic energy | KE = ½mv² |
| Potential energy | PE = mgh |
| Power | P = W / t = F·v |
Electricity
| Ohm's law | V = IR |
| Electrical power | P = VI = I²R |
| Charge | Q = It |
| Energy | E = Pt |
| Resistors in series | R = R₁ + R₂ + … |
| Resistors in parallel | 1/R = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + … |
Waves & Gravitation
| Wave speed | v = fλ |
| Frequency & period | T = 1 / f |
| Gravitational force | F = GMm / r² |
| Centripetal force | F = mv² / r |
Heat
| Heat gained/lost | Q = mcΔT | c = specific heat capacity |
| Latent heat | Q = mL | |
| Ideal gas law | PV = 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
