β‘οΈMOTION (Kinematics - Linear)
Use when there’s constant acceleration.
Key Formulas:
1. v = u + at
2. s = ut + 12 at2
β
3. v 2 = u2 + 2as
4. s = v+u
2 ⋅t
β
Tips:
u: initial velocity, v : final velocity, s: displacement, a:
acceleration, t: time
If it says "starts from rest," then u = 0
FREE FALL / GRAVITY
$g = 9.8 , \text{m/s}^2$ (or use 10 m/s² for speed!)
Same formulas as motion but a = g
π PROJECTILE MOTION (Horizontal Launch)
Time of flight: t = hg
0.5

Range: R = vx ⋅ t

Height: h = 12 gt2

π₯ NEWTON’S LAWS + FORCES
1. F = ma (Force = mass × acceleration)
2. Weight: W = mg
3. Normal force on flat ground: N = mg
βοΈWORK, POWER, ENERGY
1. Work: W = F d cos θ (If force and direction are the same:
cos 0 = 1, so W = F d)
2. Power: P = Wt

3. Kinetic Energy: KE = 12 mv 2

4. Potential Energy: PE = mgh
5. Conservation of Energy: P Etop = KEbottom

π§² MOMENTUM & COLLISIONS
1. Momentum: p = mv
2. Impulse: J = Ft = Δp = mv − mu
3. Conservation of Momentum: m_1v_1 + m_2v_2 =

β’οΈNUCLEAR PHYSICS
E = mc² (Energy from mass: m in kg, c = 3 × 108 m/s)
π§ TIPS TO SOLVE FASTER:
Round constants:
Use g = 10, π = 3, c = 3 × 108
Units:
1 N = 1 kg·m/s²
1 J = 1 N·m
1 W = 1 J/s
1 kWh = 3.6 × 10βΆ J
Eliminate choices using ESTIMATION if you're out of time.
If the answer has units and only one choice matches—go for it.
