| Theory describing the relationship between space and time | The Special Theory of Relativity |
| Magnetic field interacts with an electric circuit and produce an electromotive force. | Faraday's law of induction |
| The apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence and high probability estimates for the existence of extraterrestrial civilizations | Fermi paradox |
| a law relating the distribution of electric charge to the resulting electric field. | Gauss' law |
| The pressure of an enclosed gas is directly proportional to its temperature of a fixed mass of gas' kept at a constant volume | Gay-Lussac's law |
| The more precisely the position of some particle is determined, the less precisely its momentum can be known, and vice versa | Heisenberg's uncertainty principle |
| The law states that the total enthalpy change during the complete course of a chemical reaction is the same whether the reaction is made in one step or in several steps. | Hess's law |
| It measures the "useful" work obtainable from a closed thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and volume | Helmholtz free energy |
| The force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with respect to that distance F = kX, | Hooke's law |
| The first observational basis for the expansion of the universe and today serves as evidence in support of the Big Bang model. v = H0D | Hubble's law |
| The physical law expressing the relationship between the heat generated and current flowing through a conductor. | Joule's first law (heating) |
| The internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on its temperature. | Joule's second law |
| At any junction in an electrical circuit, the sum of currents flowing into that junction is equal to the sum of currents flowing out of that junction | Kirchhoff's circuit laws |
| The position in an orbital configuration of two large bodies where a small object affected only by gravity can maintain a stable position relative to the two large bodies. | Lagrangian point |
| The limiting behavior of a system as the temperature tends to absolute zero. | Laplace principle |
| When any system at equilibrium is subjected to change in concentration, temperature, volume, or pressure, then the system readjusts itself to counteract the effect of the applied change and a new equilibrium is established. | Le Chatelier's principle |
| The direction of current induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field due to Faraday's law of induction will be such that it will create a magnetic field that opposes the change that produced it. | Lenz's law |

| A particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers. | Newton's law of universal gravitation |
| In an inertial frame of reference, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by a force. | First law of Motion |
| In an inertial reference frame, the vector sum of the forces F on an object is equal to the mass m of that object multiplied by the acceleration a of the object. F = ma. | Second Law of Motion |
| When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body. | Third Law of Motion |
| Ohm's law states that the current through a conductor between two points is directly proportional to the voltage and inversely proportional to the resistance | Ohm's law |
| If a quadrilateral is inscribable in a circle then the product of of its diagonals is equal to the sum of the products of the pairs of opposite sides. | Ptolemy's theorem |
