IGCSE PHYSICS EQUATIONS by Samuel Lees

speed = distance / time

Acceleration = (final speed initial speed) / time
Acceleration due to gravity in a vacuum = 2 height dropped /
time2
Force = mass acceleration
Weight = mass acceleration due to gravity
Density = mass / volume
Terminal velocity: weight = air resistance
Hookes law: Force = extension spring constant
Moment of a force = force distance
Equilibrium: total clockwise moment = total anti clockwise
moment
Work done = force distance
Kinetic energy = mass velocity2
Gravitational potential energy = mass acceleration due to
gravity height
Law of conservation of energy: loss of Ep = gain of Ek and gpe =
ke
Power = work done / time taken or energy transferred / time
taken
Efficiency = useful energy output / total energy input 100%
= useful work done / total energy input 100%
= useful power output / total power input
Pressure = force / area
Hydrostatic pressure = density of liquid height acceleration
due to gravity
Atmospheric pressure = 105Pa = 760mmHg = 1000mb
Boyles law: p1 v1 = p2 v2
Charles law: Volume / KELVIN temperature = constant so...
V1 / T1 = V2 / T2
Pressure law: p/T = constant so...
P1 / T1 = P2 / T2
Specific heat capacity = heat energy / (temperature change
mass)
Thermal capacity = mass specific heat capacity
Specific latent heat of fusion or vaporization = energy / mass
Speed of wave = frequency wavelength
Frequency = 1 / time period of wave
Law of reflection: angle of incidence = angle of reflection
Refractive index = sin(i) / sin(r) or speed of light in vacuum /
speed of light in medium
 Critical angle = sin-1(1/refractive index)
Echo: speed of sound wave = 2 distance / time taken
Charge = current time
Ohms law: Voltage = current resistance
Voltage = energy / charge
Resistance = resistivity length / area
Resistance in series: Rtotal = R1 + R2 + R3
Resistance in parallel = (1/ Rtotal) = (1/R1) + (1/R2) +(1/R3)
Potential divider:
V1 / V 1 = R2 / R 2
V2 = R2 / Rtotal Vin
V1 = R1 / Rtotal Vin
Power = voltage current
Power lost in a resistor = resistance current 2
Power = energy / time
Transformers: robots in disguise
Input voltage / output voltage = number of primary coils /
number of secondary coils
Power in primary coil = power in secondary coil so...
Current 1 Voltage1 = Current2 Voltage2
Or
Current1 / Voltage1 = Current2 / Voltage2
