What Is Included in These Free Physics Resources?

These free physics resources are the reference material that sits behind the explainers: a formula sheet you can scan by topic, an A–Z glossary of terms, study plans that sequence the topics in a sensible order, and worked practice problems. Nothing here is gated, and every entry links through to the calculator or interactive lab that lets you test it with your own numbers.

Glossary

Clear, jargon-free definitions of the most important physics terms. Each links to a full article when you want to go deeper. A sample is below — the full glossary covers the key terms across every topic.

Acceleration
The rate at which velocity changes over time, measured in m/s².
Entropy
A measure of disorder in a system; always increases in isolated systems.
Frequency
The number of wave cycles passing a point per second, measured in hertz.
Inertia
An object's resistance to changes in its state of motion.
Momentum
The product of an object's mass and velocity; conserved in collisions.
Voltage
The electric potential difference that drives current through a circuit.
