## Overview

This hub is for the calculations that show up repeatedly in physics classes, homework sets, classroom demos, and introductory lab reports. It keeps motion, force, energy, fluid, wave, and measurement-precision tools together so students, teachers, and self-learners can move from a formula on paper to a checked result without bouncing across unrelated calculators.

## Tools

- Buoyancy Calculator (Archimedes, F = ρ·V·g): Compute buoyant force, fluid density, or displaced volume from any two, with optional float/sink analysis
- Density Calculator (ρ = m/V): Compute density, mass, or volume from the other two, with specific gravity and a float/sink check
- Force Calculator (F = m·a): Compute force, mass, or acceleration from Newton's second law, with weight on Earth
- Free Fall Calculator (h = ½gt²): Compute distance, time, or final velocity for free fall from rest, given any one plus gravity
- Kinetic Energy Calculator (KE = ½mv²): Compute kinetic energy, mass, or velocity from the other two, with momentum and km/h conversion
- Momentum Calculator (p = mv): Compute linear momentum, mass, or velocity from the other two, with kinetic energy and km/h conversion
- Potential Energy Calculator (PE = mgh): Compute gravitational potential energy, mass, or height from the other two, with impact velocity
- Projectile Motion Calculator (Range, Height, Time): Compute range, max height, flight time, and the full trajectory of a projectile given speed, angle, and optional initial height
- Pendulum Period Calculator (T = 2π√(L/g)): Compute period, length, or gravity of a simple pendulum, plus amplitude-based peak speed and energy
- Torque Calculator (τ = rF sinθ): Compute torque, force, or lever arm from τ = r·F·sin(θ), with the perpendicular force component shown
- Pressure Calculator & Converter (P=F/A, Pa/kPa/bar/atm/psi): Solve pressure, force, or area from P=F/A, and convert between Pa, kPa, MPa, bar, atm, psi, Torr, inHg, kgf/cm²
- Decibel Calculator (Power Ratio, Voltage Ratio, dBm/dBu/dBV): Convert between ratios and decibels (10·log power, 20·log amplitude), and across absolute units dBm/dBW/dBV/dBu/dBFS/SIL
- Doppler Effect Calculator (Frequency Shift): Compute observed frequency and frequency shift for a moving source and/or observer
- Frequency ⇄ Wavelength Converter (Hz/kHz/MHz/GHz/THz ⇄ m/cm/mm/nm): Convert between frequency and wavelength with selectable medium; results in all common frequency and length units
- Significant Figures Sandbox: Practice significant-figure rules with step-by-step feedback: count sig figs, round to N sig figs, convert to scientific notation, and propagate through +/−/×/÷.

## Frequently asked questions

### How is this different from the general math and unit-conversion hubs?

Those broader hubs cover many unrelated formulas and conversions. This page is narrower: it keeps the physics relationships that are commonly taught and solved together, including mechanics, fluids, waves, and measurement precision.

### Who is this hub most useful for?

It works well for high-school and college students, teachers building exercises, tutors, lab assistants, and self-learners who want a practical starting point for physics formulas rather than a generic calculator index.

### Why include significant figures next to force, motion, and wave tools?

Because physics work is not only about getting a number. Lab reports and classroom exercises also need the result rounded and stated honestly, so sig-fig practice belongs beside the formulas that produce the measurements.
