FAQ
How does the physics formula calculator work?
Pick a category (mechanics, electricity, waves, thermodynamics, modern-physics, or optics), then pick a formula. Enter known values as 'variable=value' per line (e.g. mass=10, acceleration=9.8), choose which variable to solve for, and the tool substitutes knowns and solves for the unknown. Required-variable validation flags missing inputs before computing.
How many formulas are included?
50+ formulas across 6 categories: Newton's laws, kinematics, gravitation, work-energy-power, Ohm's law, Coulomb's law, wave relationships, ideal gas law, calorimetry, mass-energy equivalence, lens/mirror equations, and more. Each formula carries difficulty (basic/intermediate/advanced) and a related-formula cross-reference.
Does it handle unit conversion and significant figures?
Yes. Common physics units (m/s ↔ km/h ↔ mph, J ↔ cal ↔ kWh) are convertible via the unit converter. Results are rounded using significant-figure rules so 9.81 m/s² × 10 kg gives 98 N not 98.000001.

Is my data sent anywhere?
No. All calculations run locally in your browser. The formula database and constants are bundled in the page. History is stored in localStorage on this device only.
