Below will be a list of simple physics equations and their meanings.
F = ma | Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration.
s = v/Δt | Displacement is equal to velocity over("Over" means divided by) change in time.
v = s/Δt | Velocity is equal to displacement over change in time.
a = Δv/Δt | Acceleration is equal to change in velocity over change in time.
e = mc^2 | Energy is equal to mass multiplied by the speed of light squared.
p = m/v | Density is equal to mass over volume.

Nice to have the formulae. It is also an interesting language exercise to convert those formulae into simple English. For instance, after "Force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration," we could add, "...in other words, the heaviness of an object multiplied by how fast it is going."

By the way, you wanna tell me the difference between displacement and distance? :-)
