Mechanics Formulas
Kinematics, forces, energy, momentum, rotation, oscillations, gravitation and fluids: the AP Physics 1 topics on one sheet, with a free PDF.
Physics Formulas
The key formulas of a physics course on printable sheets, grouped the way the course teaches them, with the symbols named and the conditions each formula needs. Read them here, quiz yourself, or print the free PDF.
Electricity and Waves Formulas
Ohm's law, power, series and parallel circuits, capacitors, fields, magnetism, waves and lenses on one sheet, with a free PDF.
Use these sheets for quick reference, or switch to quiz mode to practise recall: it hides each formula until you open it. Symbols and conditions are named under each formula, and the formulas that have a calculator link to it, so you can try your own values.
Common questions
Is this the official AP Physics equation sheet?
No. The College Board hands out its own equation sheet in the exam, and that is the one to practise with. These sheets are a free supplement: the mechanics sheet covers the AP Physics 1 topics, and the electricity sheet the circuits, fields, magnetism, waves and optics of AP Physics 2, with the conditions each formula needs written beside it.
Which physics formula sheets are there?
Mechanics (kinematics, forces, energy, momentum, rotation, oscillations, gravitation and fluids) and electricity and waves (current, resistance, circuits, capacitors, electric fields, magnetism, waves, light and lenses). Each ends with the constants its formulas use.
Are these physics formula sheets free to print?
Yes. Every sheet is a free PDF you can print, copy and hand out, and a PNG for slides and notes. There is nothing to sign up for.
Can I take a formula sheet into a physics exam?
That depends on the exam. AP Physics and the A level boards give you a data and formula sheet of their own, and some tests allow none. Practise with the sheet your exam provides, and use these to learn and review.
