SUBJECT: Physics Fundamentals & Core Mechanics

DOCUMENT TYPE: Educational Study Guide / Overview

1. Newton's Laws of Motion


Newton's laws form the foundation of classical mechanics, describing the relationship
between a body and the forces acting upon it.

- First Law (Law of Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues
in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an
unbalanced force.
- Second Law (F = ma): The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force
acting upon the object and inversely upon the mass of the object.
- Third Law (Action & Reaction): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

2. Conservation of Energy
Energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can only change form from one type to another.
- Kinetic Energy (KE): The energy of motion, dependent on mass and velocity squared.
- Potential Energy (PE): Stored energy based on an object's position relative to a
gravitational field or elasticity.

3. Fundamentals of Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics governs heat, work, and energy transfers.
- Zeroth Law: Establishes thermal equilibrium and defines temperature.
- First Law: Internal energy of an isolated system is constant (law of energy conservation).
- Second Law: Total entropy of an isolated system always increases over time.
