In summary, the most important equations in physics include Newton's laws of motion, Einstein's theory of relativity, Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, and the laws of thermodynamics. The fundamental units in physics are length, mass, time, electric current, temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity. Scalar quantities only have magnitude, while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. The SI system of units is the most commonly used system in physics, consisting of seven base units. To convert between units in physics, conversion factors or equations can be used, with attention to units being important for accuracy and consistency.

I was just wondering if anyone knew the link to a website that has a list of physics equations, terms, units,etc...
I have been looking around but have yet to find anything of real value.
Thanks

1. What are the most important equations in physics?

The most important equations in physics include Newton's laws of motion, Einstein's theory of relativity, Maxwell's equations of electromagnetism, and the laws of thermodynamics.

2. What are the fundamental units in physics?

The fundamental units in physics are length (meter), mass (kilogram), time (second), electric current (ampere), temperature (kelvin), amount of substance (mole), and luminous intensity (candela).

3. What is the difference between scalar and vector quantities?

A scalar quantity is a physical quantity that only has magnitude, while a vector quantity has both magnitude and direction. Examples of scalar quantities include mass and temperature, while examples of vector quantities include velocity and force.

4. What is the SI system of units?

The SI (International System of Units) is the most commonly used system of units in physics. It is a decimal-based system that uses seven base units and is used to measure physical quantities in a consistent and standardized way.

5. How can I convert between units in physics?

To convert between units in physics, you can use conversion factors or equations that relate the two units. It is important to pay attention to the units in calculations to ensure accuracy and consistency.
