Where Can I Find a Comprehensive List of General Physics Equations?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for a comprehensive list of general physics equations, specifically for calculus-based physics. The user highlights two fundamental equations: x(t) = x(starting) + ∫v(t)dt and v(t) = v(starting) + ∫a(t)dt. Participants emphasize that while equation lists exist, understanding these equations requires context and explanation typically found in physics textbooks. The consensus is that a thorough study of physics is essential for grasping the significance and application of these formulas.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of calculus, particularly integration.
  • Familiarity with basic physics concepts such as velocity and acceleration.
  • Knowledge of physics notation and terminology.
  • Access to calculus-based physics textbooks for context.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research comprehensive physics equation sheets available online.
  • Explore calculus-based physics textbooks for detailed explanations of equations.
  • Study the derivation and application of fundamental physics equations.
  • Learn about the role of integrals in physics, particularly in motion equations.
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators, and anyone seeking to deepen their understanding of calculus-based physics equations and their applications.

Hi everyone, i I was reading a physics book, (calculus based), and i resumed all the equations (almost I think) with two equations:

x(t)=x(starting) + ∫v(t)dt
v(t)=v(starting) + ∫a(t)dt
..
etc...

i want to know if there is a list of these general equations, physics general formulas... do you know if there are some or book that describes these formulas or treats every formula like these?

I think you're asking for an equation sheet like this:

Of course, the equations will be difficult to use or understand without some explanation, which is provided in pretty much all physics textbooks.

If you want a list of equations and to learn how to use them and understand what they mean then you're describing the study of physics
