Physics Flashcard App

Physics problems are built from a small set of equations used in many combinations: Newton's laws, energy conservation, Ohm's law and the equations of motion.

Space Repeat keeps those equations, their units and their conditions at your fingertips, written in real notation instead of plain text.

Why spaced repetition works here

Solving a physics problem starts with recognizing which principle applies and recalling its equation exactly. Students who get stuck usually aren't missing the math; they're missing the right starting equation. Spaced repetition makes the core equations, units and constants automatic, so your effort goes into modelling the situation.

Ideas for your flashcards

  • Equations of motion, and when each one applies
  • Newton's laws, forces, work, energy and momentum
  • Electricity: Ohm's law, power, series and parallel circuits
  • SI units, constants and unit conversions

How to use spaced repetition for physics

For each equation, put what it describes on the front and the equation, with units, on the back. Add a card for its conditions too, like "constant acceleration only".

Review your deck before working through problem sets, so choosing the right equation is quick and your time goes into the physics.

How Space Repeat works

Smart scheduling

The algorithm tracks every card and shows it again right before you would forget it. No manual planning required.

Formulas and code

Fractions, integrals, chemical equations and highlighted code look right on every card. Plain text works too.

Free during the beta

Every feature, spaced repetition included, is free to use while Space Repeat is in beta. Early users will be looked after when pricing arrives.

Frequently asked questions

Does Space Repeat come with ready-made flashcards for this?

Yes. New accounts can add starter decks for physics: Physics: Mechanics, Physics: Electricity and Circuits. They're ordinary decks, so you can edit, add or delete cards, and write or import your own alongside them.

Is Space Repeat good for AP Physics or IB Physics?

Yes. Cards are a good fit for the equations, units and definitions those courses expect you to know, while practice problems build the problem-solving itself.

Should I memorize physics equations if I get a formula sheet?

Knowing the core equations still pays off: you pick the right one faster, notice when an answer's units are wrong, and understand what each term means. Use cards for the meaning and conditions, not just the symbols.

Is Space Repeat free for physics students?

Yes, it's free while Space Repeat is in beta, with up to 50 decks and 100 cards per deck.
