About the Author 25

Introduction

Physics is concerned with describing the interactions of energy, matter, space, and
time, and it is especially interested in what fundamental mechanisms underlie every
phenomenon. It is a branch of science that deals with the study of your world and the
world and universe that surrounds you.

All Physics Formulas was written with the sole aim of reducing the students’
workload in learning and committing physics formulas to memory by presenting them
in a manner that is organized and easy to reference.

Why You Need This E-Book

After tirelessly searching the internet and bookstores around me to find a

comprehensive, concise and thorough book containing all the formulas in secondary
school physics, I was quite disappointed to not find any. The closest I found were
either too copious, unnecessarily complicated, lacked details or didn’t cover most of
the formulas. This e-book is for you if you answer yes to any of the following
questions:

☞ Are you a science student preparing for a physics exam?

☞ Do you want to quickly master your physics formulas?

☞ Do you need an easy reference to all of your physics formulas?

How to Use This E-Book

Formulas in this e-book are organized by the branch of physics and chapters they
belong to so as to make it easy for students to refer to while studying. Below are
some tips to maximize the results from this e-book.
☞ The chapters in the Table of Content are clickable so you can easily find your

topic or chapter of interest by clicking on the chapter or topic in the Table of

Contents.

☞ When practicing your past Q&A or CBT and you forget the formula to a certain

question, you can easily open up All Physics Formulas and navigate to the
chapter where the formula is from and find your desired formula or equation
easy-peasy.
This saves a lot of time as opposed to opening your 500+ paged textbook to
look for a single formula.

☞ When learning a new chapter or reviewing a familiar one you can also use this

e-book as a study guide to ensure you have memorized all the necessary
formulas you have just learnt or reviewed.

Effective Study Tips

Physics is considered by many science students to be fairly less challenging

compared to other science subjects like Biology and Chemistry which involves a lot
of rote memorization. I guess this is largely because physics allows you to think
deeply about a concept and once you’ve done that enough, the formulas flow much
easier.

Here are some tips I’d recommend to anyone interested in learning physics:

Understand, Don’t Memorize

Physics is a conceptually demanding subjects. It requires you to use your

imagination to model theories and behaviors of matter and forces. Don’t be afraid to
unleash your creativity while studying physics, grab a pen and paper and draw visual
guides, charts and models to make studies more interesting and memorable.

Employ Active Learning while Studying

It’s high time you stopped passively reading or skimming through your textbooks as if
it were a novel or storybook. You don’t have to always watch your teacher solve
practice problems, active learning requires that you participate more in what you
learn. Work more independently and practice as many problems sets as you can to
improve your problem solving skills.

Get involved with the Material

When studying physics, it’s always a great idea to conduct simple experiments and
observations, seek help from an adult if you must. Try experimenting with what you
learned in the textbook and work on real life projects. It helps you understand the
context of what you’re learning on a much deeper level allowing you to better encode
the memory into your brain.
Learning Resources

Khan Academy

Khan Academy has a mission of providing a free, world-class education available to

anyone, anywhere. It has a community of millions of students from all over the world
and offers practice exercises, instructional videos and personalized learning
experience allowing you to learn at your own pace.

Organic Chemistry Tutor

Organic Chemistry Tutor YouTube channel covers many of the science subjects from
physics and biology algebra and computer science. The channel has long duration
videos that cover pretty much everything you’ll need to know on the topi

Crash Course

Crash Course produces high quality educational videos available to everyone for
free on their YouTube channel. Its videos are visually appealing and is excellent for
visual learners.

They have courses on many other science subjects including biology, chemistry and
mathematics.

Veritasium

Veritasium is a popular science and engineering YouTube channel that explains even
the most advanced concepts in Physics in very simple terms. There are many highly
informational videos covering a wide range of topics available on this channel
ranging from interviews with subject matter experts and Nobel laureates to the many
science experiments which prove to help students visually understand the concepts.

There are a lot more resources and YouTube channels I didn’t mention of, explore
and find whatever suits you.
