How does Physics AI solve a photo problem?

Photograph the complete question, including diagrams, values, and units. The app reads the problem and explains the principles and calculation step by step.

Which physics topics are supported?

Physics AI covers mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, waves, optics, modern physics, fluids, and other common school and college topics.

Does Physics AI include formulas?

Yes. The app includes more than 300 formulas organized by topic with variables, units, and usage context.

Should I verify AI-generated solutions?

Yes. Check the assumptions, units, sign convention, and final result, especially for graded work or safety-related calculations.

Practical guide

Physics formulas you actually need

Most introductory physics comes down to a handful of formula families. Here are the ones used across many common problems, grouped by topic, plus a photo study aid for step-by-step explanations.

What to look for

The core formula families

Learn these four groups and you can attack most problems you’ll meet.

Kinematics

Motion: v = u + at, s = ut + ½at², v² = u² + 2as. The backbone of every mechanics problem.

Forces & energy

F = ma, W = Fd, KE = ½mv², PE = mgh. Newton’s laws and the work–energy theorem.

Electricity

V = IR, P = VI, and series/parallel resistance rules for circuit problems.

Thermodynamics

PV = nRT, Q = mcΔT. Gas laws and heat transfer for thermal problems.

Step by step

How to solve a physics problem

01
Identify given and asked
List known quantities with units and pin down exactly what the question wants.
02
Pick the topic
Kinematics, forces, energy, circuits, or heat — the topic points to the formula family.
03
Choose the formula
Match the knowns and the unknown to a formula that connects them.
04
Solve with units
Rearrange, substitute, and carry units through — the final unit confirms the answer.
05
Check with a photo scan
Use a clear photo in Physics AI for a step-by-step explanation, then verify the result.

Common questions

How do I solve a physics problem step by step?

List what is given and asked, identify the topic, choose the formula linking knowns to unknown, then solve while carrying units. Physics AI can help explain this process from a clear photo.

What are the most important physics formulas?

The kinematics equations (v = u + at), Newton’s second law (F = ma), work and energy (W = Fd, KE = ½mv²), Ohm’s law (V = IR), and the ideal gas law (PV = nRT) cover most introductory problems.

Can AI help solve physics problems?

It can analyze many common problems and provide a step-by-step explanation, but AI can be wrong. Check assumptions, units, signs, and graded work against your course materials or instructor.
