Physics Notes: Motion, Force & Gravitation
Introduction: Physics is the study of matter, energy, and their interactions.
Chapter 1: Motion
Motion is the change in position of an object with respect to time.
Types of Motion:
- Rectilinear Motion
- Circular Motion
- Periodic Motion
Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration definitions.
Equations of Motion:
v = u + at, s = ut + 1/2at^2, v^2 - u^2 = 2as
Chapter 2: Force
Force is a push or pull acting upon an object.
Newton’s Laws of Motion explained with examples.
Balanced vs Unbalanced Forces.
Chapter 3: Gravitation
Newton’s Law of Gravitation: F = G(m1m2)/r^2
Concept of free fall and acceleration due to gravity (g = 9.8 m/s^2).
Applications: satellites, tides, and planetary motion.
Conclusion: Physics links everyday phenomena with scientific principles.
