Brainlag PlusEvery GCSE Physics equation in two tables, the ones to learn by heart and the ones given on the sheet, then choosing and rearranging them.
Learn by heart (AQA)
AQA expects you to recall these.
Each comes with its units: put the numbers in using them.
| Quantity | Equation | Units |
|---|---|---|
| weight | W = m g | N, kg, N/kg |
| work done | W = F s | J, N, m |
| force on a spring | F = k e | N, N/m, m |
| moment (Physics only) | M = F d | N m, N, m |
| pressure (Physics only) | p = F ÷ A | Pa, N, m² |
| distance | s = v t | m, m/s, s |
| acceleration | a = Δv ÷ t | m/s², m/s, s |
| resultant force | F = m a | N, kg, m/s² |
| momentum (Higher) | p = m v | kg m/s, kg, m/s |
| kinetic energy | Ek = ½ m v² | J, kg, m/s |
| gain in gravitational potential energy | Ep = m g h | J, kg, N/kg, m |
| power | P = E ÷ t and P = W ÷ t | W, J, s |
| efficiency | useful output ÷ total input (energy or power) | no unit, or × 100 for % |
| wave speed | v = f λ | m/s, Hz, m |
| charge | Q = I t | C, A, s |
| potential difference | V = I R | V, A, Ω |
| electrical power | P = V I and P = I² R | W, V, A, Ω |
| energy transferred | E = P t and E = Q V | J, W, s, C, V |
| density | ρ = m ÷ V | kg/m³, kg, m³ |
Combined Science (AQA 8464) learners need the same list without the Physics-only rows.
