Physics Formulas

Always state units in numerical answers — marks are awarded for correct units.

Motion

Speed

Speed (m/s) = Distance (m) / Time (s)

Acceleration

a = (v − u) / t (m/s²)

v² = u² + 2as

For uniform acceleration (v = final speed, u = initial speed, s = displacement)

Forces

Newton's 2nd Law

Force (N) = Mass (kg) × Acceleration (m/s²)

Weight

Weight (N) = Mass (kg) × Gravitational field strength (N/kg)

Pressure

Pressure (Pa) = Force (N) / Area (m²)

Moment

Moment (N·m) = Force (N) × Perpendicular distance (m)

Energy & Work

Work Done

Work (J) = Force (N) × Distance (m)

Kinetic Energy

KE = ½ × m × v²

Gravitational PE

GPE = m × g × h

Power

Power (W) = Energy (J) / Time (s)

Efficiency

Efficiency = (Useful energy output / Total energy input) × 100%

Electricity

Ohm's Law

V = I × R (V = voltage, I = current, R = resistance)

Power

P = I × V = I²R = V²/R

Energy

E = P × t = I × V × t

Series circuit

Total R = R₁ + R₂ + ... | Current same everywhere

Parallel circuit

1/R_total = 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ + ... | Voltage same across each branch

Waves

Wave speed

v = f × λ (v = speed, f = frequency, λ = wavelength)

Period

T = 1/f

Chemistry Key Equations & Relationships

Learn word equations and symbol equations for all required reactions.

Mole Calculations

Moles

n = mass (g) / Mr (relative molecular mass)

Concentration

Concentration (mol/dm³) = Moles / Volume (dm³)

Gas volume (RTP)

Volume (dm³) = Moles × 24 (at room temperature and pressure)

Percentage Composition

% by mass = (Mass of element in compound / Mr of compound) × 100

Percentage Yield & Atom Economy

% Yield

% Yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) × 100

Atom Economy

Atom Economy = (Mr of desired product / Sum of Mr of all products) × 100

Key Chemical Reactions to Know

Photosynthesis

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Aerobic respiration

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + energy

Neutralisation

Acid + Base → Salt + Water

Combustion (complete)

Hydrocarbon + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O

pH Scale

pH 1–6: acidic | pH 7: neutral | pH 8–14: alkaline. Strong acids/bases have extreme pH values; weak acids/bases have values closer to 7.

Biology Key Processes & Definitions

Quantitative biology questions appear frequently — know the formulas below.

Magnification

Magnification = Image size / Actual size

Rearranged

Actual size = Image size / Magnification

Photosynthesis & Respiration

Photosynthesis

6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ (light energy required)

Aerobic respiration

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O (+ ATP energy released)

Anaerobic (animals)

Glucose → Lactic acid (+ small amount of ATP)

Anaerobic (yeast)

Glucose → Ethanol + CO₂ (fermentation)

Population Growth

Population Growth Rate = (Birth rate − Death rate) + (Immigration − Emigration)

Osmosis & Water Potential

Water moves by osmosis from high water potential (dilute solution) to low water potential (concentrated solution) through a selectively permeable membrane.

Scientific Investigation & Data Analysis

Applied in questions across all three sciences — know these skills well.

Mean, Median, Mode

Mean

Mean = Sum of all values / Number of values

Median

Middle value when data is arranged in order

Mode

Most frequently occurring value

Percentage Change

% Change = ((New value − Original value) / Original value) × 100

Uncertainty

Absolute uncertainty

± half the smallest scale division of the measuring instrument

Percentage uncertainty

(Absolute uncertainty / Measured value) × 100%

Independent, Dependent & Control Variables

Independent

The variable you change

Dependent

The variable you measure

Control

Variables kept constant to ensure a fair test
