Physics 1 Formula

This document provides formulas for various topics in physics including kinematics, Newton's laws of motion, work, energy, momentum, rotational motion, gravity, and solar system data. Key formulas include definitions of displacement, average speed, velocity, and acceleration for one-dimensional kinematics. Newton's second law relates force, mass and acceleration. Work is defined as force times displacement. Kinetic energy is defined as one-half mass times velocity squared. Gravitational force is defined using Newton's universal law of gravitation relating gravitational force, masses of objects, and distance between them.
