BASIC PHISYCS FORMULAS FOR HIGH SCHOOL

1. Kinematics:

Average speed: v = d/t

Average velocity: v = Δx/Δt

Acceleration: a = Δv/Δt

Distance traveled: d = v₀t + 1/2at²

Final velocity: v = v₀ + at

Displacement: Δx = v₀t + 1/2at²

Velocity squared: v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

2. Dynamics:

Force: F = ma

Weight: w = mg

Friction force: Ff = μN

Work: W = Fd cos(θ)

Kinetic energy: KE = 1/2mv²

Potential energy: PE = mgh

Mechanical energy: E = KE + PE

Power: P = W/t

3. Waves:

Wave speed: v = fλ

Frequency: f = 1/T

Period: T = 1/f
Amplitude: A

Wavelength: λ

Wave velocity: v = √(T/μ)

Sound intensity: I = P/A

4. Thermodynamics:

Heat transfer: Q = mcΔT

Specific heat capacity: c

Latent heat of fusion: Lf

Latent heat of vaporization: Lv

Ideal gas law: PV = nRT

5. Optics:

Index of refraction: n = c/v

Snell's law: n₁sin(θ₁) = n₂sin(θ₂)

Magnification: M = -i/o

Lens formula: 1/f = 1/i + 1/o

Mirror equation: 1/f = 1/i + 1/o
