Physics Formulas

Fundamental physics formulas for mechanics, energy, waves, and more.

F_{net} = ma

Calculates the net force required to accelerate an object of a given mass.

KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

Energy possessed by an object due to its motion.

W = Fd\cos\theta

Work done by a force over a distance.

P = \frac{W}{t}

Rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.

v = \frac{\Delta d}{\Delta t}

Calculates the rate of change of position (speed or velocity) over time.
