Below are ALL the physics equations u need to know for the IGCSE physics exam (according to my physics teacher)
Year 9
1. Speed = Distance / Time
2. Velocity = Displacement / Time
3. Density = Mass / Volume
4. Weight = Mass x Gravity
5. Work = Force x Distance
6. Volume of a regular solid = Length x Width x Height
7. Volume of a irregular solid using a measuring cylinder = V2 - V1
8. Power = Work / Time
9. Pressure = Force / Area
10. Pressure under a liquid = Density x Gravity x Depth
11. Boyle's Law: Pressure of a gas. P1V1 = P2V2
12. Energy = Mass x Specific Heat Capacity x Change in temperature
13. Energy = Mass x Latent Heat
14. Kinetic energy = 1/2 x mass x velocity squared
16. The law of reflection: Angle of incidence = angle of reflection (i=r)
17. Refractive index (n): n = Sin i / Sin r (Snell's law)
18. n = Cv / Cm Cv = speed of light in air, vacuum. Cm = speed of light in the medium (glass).
19. n = 1 / Sin C C = critical angle
20. Velocity = frequency x wavelength
Year 10
21. Charge = Current x Time
22. Charge = number of electrons x charge of an electron
23. Adding resistors in series: R = R1 + R2 + R3
24. Adding resistors in parallel: 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3
25. Ohm's Law: voltage = current x resistance
26. Power = current x voltage
27. Electrical energy = current x time x voltage
28. Transformers: Vp / Vs = Np / Ns p = primary, s = secondary
29. Transformers: Ip x Vp = Is x Vs
30. Acceleration: acceleration = change in velocity / time
31. Moments: moment = force x distance
32. Newton's 2nd law: force = mass x acceleration
33. Hooke's law: force = mass x extension
And thats it, 33 equations ONLY :o
Hope i helped, and good luck in ur exams ;)
-
ive attached a scanned copy of the list (for the people who want to print it out)
-
Great!
thx a lot.... :)
-
Great!
thx a lot.... :)
ur welcome :)
-
hardcore stuff like always, Q80BOY! Keep it up!! :D :D 8)
-
kinetic energy = 1\2 mv^2
-
Its their zuahir
Q80BOY its good! I put it as my wallpaper! Keep up the good work!
-
omgosh~ thanx a lot, that really helps
i just printed it out
By the way, isn't there anything for year 11 cuz the year 11's are taking the igcses~
-
volume of a cylinder = 3.14 x radius^2 x height
-
omgosh~ thanx a lot, that really helps
i just printed it out
By the way, isn't there anything for year 11 cuz the year 11's are taking the igcses~
im my school. we start the course in y9 and do the IGCSEs in y10 (so its a 2 year course), these equations are all u need for the IGCSE course
-
This is not included in physics. And if you need it in the exam they will give it to you
-
wow !!! thanks loads :D
i was looking for this ALL day today :P
-
i find using the formula
Q=ne hard
:S
-
i find using the formula
Q=ne hard
:S
hard ?? Q = current
n = number of electrons
e = charge of an electron (which is 1.6x10^-19)
easy ?? ;)
-
thank u :D
-
thank u :D
ur welcome ;)
-
Thank You very much cheers m8 ;D

ah~ you're probably talking about grade 9 and 10 which is like year 10 and 11 in the british system

i dont remember the exact thing now
but we were to told to put - or something
dont remember now.

ist that even there in igcse???

It is..i think theres one in the cathode ray questions..

v.v.v.helpful..i have this list 2 sumwhere :S in hard copy..lemme go find it and update IF theres anything left to :P!!
-
u forgot to add the specific hear capactity equations, and specific latent heat equations
-
and some equations for electricity, like I and A and V etc
-
any body needs falling body equations . or has any douts in any of the equatin, just ask, ill help ;D
-
thank u
-
where's potential energy?
isn't it PE=mgh (m=mass, g=gravoty, h=height)?
-
thank u very much for posting these topic i think its really hulpful 4 all of us
thank uuuuuuuuuuuuu ;D

Hey guys,
as the physics paper 3 exam is next week, i thought u will be needing this,
thanks :)
-
hey,
physics exam on thursday,
so u may need this :)
thanks
-
Hey um what about the U V A S T equations ?
The ones related to free fall ?
We dont need to memorise those ?

Looking at the chem paper do u think we need to study Paper6 for physics paper3?

sorry but, ive never heard of these :-[

:O these are important!!!
Here are they:
v=u+at
v2(squared)=u2(squared)+2as
s=1/2(u+v)*t
s=ut+1/2at2(squared)
HERE IS WHAT THEY STAND FOR:
V=FINAL VELOCITY (m/s)
U=INITIAL VELOCITY (m/s)
S=DISPLACEMENT(m)
A=ACCELERATION(m/s2(squared))
T=TIME (s)
HOPE THAT HELPS
GOOD LUCK :)

hey guyz..these are the equations we may need to use in igcse cz i gt this frm a site which stated that....here they are u may copy them ina notepad or microsoft wrd..>>>>
Electricity
P = V x I. Power = Voltage x Current.
V = I x R. Voltage = Current x Resistance.
Q = I x t. Charge = Current x time.
E = V x Q. Energy = Voltage x Charge.
Transformer Equation
Total Cost = Number of Units x Cost per Unit.
Energy
Efficiency (%) = (useful energy out ÷ total energy in) x 100.
GPE = mgh. GPE = mass x gravity x height.
KE = ½mv2. Kinetic Energy = 0·5 x mass x velocity2.
W = F x d. Work done = Force x distance.
W = E. Work done = Energy transferred.
P = E ÷ t. Power = Energy ÷ time.
Forces and Motion
s = d ÷ t. speed = distance ÷ time.
a = (v-u) ÷ t. acceleration = change in velocity ÷ time.
F = m x a. Force = mass x acceleration.
w = m x g. weight = mass x gravity.
m = F x d. moment = Force x perpendicular distance from pivot.
p = F ÷ a. pressure = Force ÷ area.
d = m ÷ v. density = mass ÷ volume.
Waves
v = f x l. velocity = frequency x wavelength.

What is 1/sinC ?????????????
plzzz help me with this and definition of hooke's law ??
-
What is 1/sinC ?????????????
plzzz help me with this and definition of hooke's law ??
Refractive Index = 1 / Sine (Critical Angle)
Hooke's Law: A material obeys Hooke's law if, beneath its elastic limit, the extension is proportional to the load.
Equation: Force = mass x extension
hope this helps :)

THANKS A LOT =D ;) :)
