SUMMARY

Writing physics formulas requires a solid understanding of mathematical concepts ranging from basic algebra to calculus. The discussion highlights the importance of context, as different areas of physics utilize varying levels of mathematical complexity. Notable examples include Bohr's atomic model and Einstein's Lorentz factor, which illustrate the application of mathematical principles in physics. Mastery of these formulas is achievable with dedication and practice.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic algebra
  • Calculus fundamentals
  • Understanding of physics concepts
  • Familiarity with mathematical notation
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the derivation of Bohr's atomic model
  • Learn about the Lorentz factor in special relativity
  • Practice solving physics problems using calculus
  • Explore mathematical notation used in physics
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators teaching physics concepts, and anyone interested in understanding the mathematical foundations of physical theories.

I pretty much know nothing about making and reading Physic formulas?


Could someone help me?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Well its a pretty broad question, but all of modern physics is expressed in math. Depending on the part of physics, and on the target audience, you might need anywhere from basic algebra to calculus and beyond to read various formulae. Can you give more detail about where you are getting these formulae from?
 
it is a beneficial concern sometimes i am amazing about fot instance how bohr managed to to write its atom model how einstein managed to write lorentz factor tgrough only pythgore... i think it is a god sent which was given to them i believe i am not capable of doing this kind of job :D
 

Thread 'Does acceleration affect impact energy vs constant velocity?'

I do not have a good working knowledge of physics yet. I tried to piece this together but after researching this, I couldn’t figure out the correct laws of physics to combine to develop a formula to answer this question. Ex. 1 - A moving object impacts a static object at a constant velocity. Ex. 2 - A moving object impacts a static object at the same velocity but is accelerating at the moment of impact. Assuming the mass of the objects is the same and the velocity at the moment of impact...
