Frequently asked about the Physics

What physics topics are covered?

25 calculators: Newton's 2nd law (F = ma + solvers), weight on different planets, kinetic and potential energy, work, power, momentum, impulse, kinematics (v = u + at, free fall, projectile motion), friction coefficient, pressure (F/A), density, buoyancy, Ohm's law (V, I, R, P), resistor/capacitor networks (series + parallel), wave equation, Doppler effect, pendulum period, and Hooke's spring law.

Is this for high-school physics?

Mostly yes — covers Class 9-12 (ICSE / CBSE) and AP Physics 1/2 topics. Each calculator shows the formula so you can verify against your textbook.

Why isn't relativity / quantum here?

We focus on classical mechanics + basic electromagnetism, which cover school + undergraduate engineering needs. Relativity and quantum involve too many edge cases for a single-input form. Use Wolfram Alpha for those.

Free fall and projectile — what assumptions?

Vacuum (no air resistance). Constant gravity g = 9.81 m/s². For real-world fall (with drag), values are 10-20% off depending on object shape and altitude. Use only as an idealised first estimate.

Does the resistor calculator support both series and parallel?

Yes — paste resistor values, toggle the configuration. Same for capacitors (rules are flipped: series adds reciprocals, parallel adds directly).

What's the Doppler effect calculator for?

Computes the observed frequency when source and/or observer is moving. Useful for school physics problems and basic radar / ultrasound theory.
