The physics student
toolbox.
Check motion, energy, waves and the units behind each equation.
9 useful places to start.
Idealised models for learning. Read each tool’s assumptions and keep units consistent.
Constant acceleration calculator
Find velocity and displacement in a one-dimensional motion model.
Ideal projectile motion
Explore range, height and flight time for a level-ground model.
Kinetic energy calculator
Find classical kinetic energy from mass and speed.
Gravitational potential energy
Calculate a near-surface energy change from a vertical height change.
Momentum calculator
Calculate one-dimensional classical momentum.
Wave speed calculator
Relate wavelength and frequency to wave speed.
Simple pendulum period
Estimate a small-angle pendulum’s period and frequency.
Pressure from force & area
Calculate average normal pressure on a surface.
Energy converter
Convert energy units with clearly labelled standards.
A few things you
can tick off.
- Explore an ideal projectile’s range
- Compare kinetic and potential energy
- Check a wave’s speed and period
