This document provides key physical constants and units of measurement including the mass and charge of an electron and proton, conversions between astronomical units like parsecs and light years, the gravitational constant, atomic mass units, conversions between electronvolts and joules, the speed of light, and very small units of length like angstroms and fermis. It also notes that students should learn the neutrons, atomic masses of the first 20 elements.

Charge of a proton: Equal to that of electron (but positive) Learn the neutrons, atomic mass, etc of first 20 elements. One Parsec = 3.261 light years = 3.086 x 1016 metres One A.U. (Astronomical Unit) = 1.496 x 1011 metres Gravitational Constant = 6.674 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2 (or Nm2kg-2) 1 unified atomic mass unit (u) = 1.67 × 10–27 kg 1 MeV= 1.6×10–13J Speed of light (a bit more exact) – 2.99 x 108 m/s 1 ångstrom : 10-10 m 1 fermi (or femtometer) : 10-15 m
