The compilation of physics formulas, constants, and conversion factors supplied during the New York State Regents Physics examination is an essential tool for students. This resource provides readily accessible information, eliminating the need for memorization of numerous equations and values. Students can find relationships between variables, universal constants such as the gravitational constant, and conversions between units like meters and centimeters.
Its primary benefit lies in allowing students to focus on problem-solving and conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization. The availability of these resources ensures fairness and standardization across all administrations of the examination. Historically, it has evolved to reflect the changing emphasis in physics education, moving from a focus on recall to application and analysis. This evolution supports a deeper engagement with the subject matter.
