Explore the fundamentals of physics for beginners with approachable explanations of gravity, force, speed and velocity, acceleration, Newton's laws, and kinetic and potential energy.
Explore Newton's law of gravity, its definition, and the F = G M1 M2 / R^2 formula, and learn how gravitational field strength is measured in newtons per kilogram.
Explore force, speed, velocity, and acceleration; derive speed as distance over time and velocity as displacement over time, and practice calculating average speed and displacement with vectors.
Explore how acceleration measures velocity change using a = Δv/Δt, recognize acceleration as a vector, and see how multiple forces yield a net force on an object.
Explore Newton's three laws of motion, from mass and inertia to acceleration and force, including F = ma with vector directions, and the action-reaction principle.
Analyze a two-bucket rope system in equilibrium over a smooth beam, determine tension and beam force, then add mass and apply Newton's second law to find acceleration and revised tension.
Explore the concepts of potential energy and kinetic energy, then examine work and power to build a foundational understanding of energy in physics.
Explore gravitational potential energy and kinetic energy, defined by m g h and 1/2 m v^2, and understand energy conservation and transformation with pendulum and friction examples.
Explore work, the dot product of net force and displacement, and the conservation of energy, including kinetic and potential energy, friction, and the final velocity from the work-energy theorem.
Define power as the ratio of work done to the time taken, linking work, time, and delta t through the fundamental formula.
