The big 5
Projectile Motion
Newton’s First Law
An object’s state of motion will not change unless a net force acts on the object. The law of inertia.
Newton’s Second Law
If Fnet is the net (total) force acting on an object of mass m, then the resulting acceleration of the object, a, satisfies this simple equation
Fnet=ma
Newton’s Third Law
If object one exerts a force on object 2 then object 2 exerts an equal but opposite force on object 1. These forces are equal in magnitude but act opposite in direction.
Newton’s Law of Gravitation
F (grav) = G Mm/r^2
Inverse Square Law
The magnitude of the gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the centers of the objects
