These equations may be required for both International GCSE Physics (4PH1) and
International GCSE Combined Science (4SD0) papers.

1. Forces and Motion

distance moved
average speed =
time taken

acceleration = change in velocity a

v  u 
time taken t
(final speed)2 = (initial speed)2 + (2 × acceleration × distance moved)
v2  u 2   2  a  s 

force = mass × acceleration F=m×a

weight = mass × gravitational field strength W=m×g

2. Electricity

power = current × voltage P=I×V

energy transferred = current × voltage × time E=I×V×t

voltage = current × resistance V=I×R

charge = current × time Q=I×t

energy transferred = charge × voltage E=Q×V

3. Waves

wave speed = frequency × wavelength v=f×λ

1 1
frequency = f =
time period T

sin angle of incidence  sin i

refractive index = n=
sin angle of refraction sin r

and 2PR.

1. Forces and Motion

momentum = mass × velocity p=m×v

force =
