Course: Fundamentals of Classical Mechanics

List of important physical quantities, their symbols, (derived) units and examples with images.

Learn about important physical constants and what their formula symbols and SI units are.

Here you will learn how to find out the distance covered and position of objects moving at a constant speed.

Here you will learn how to determine the distance traveled and position of an object as it accelerates uniformly.

Here it is explained quite simply what the mechanical momentum is, how you can calculate and illustrate it.

Newton's laws of motion describe the fundamental principles of how objects behave in response to forces. These laws explain the relationship between forces, mass, and acceleration.

Here you'll learn how kinetic, static, and rolling friction affect motion and why they are important to everyday life and nature.

Here you will learn some facts about the gravitational constant and gravity.

Learn about the gravitational force of attraction between two bodies, how much they attract each other depending on how far apart they are.

The escape velocity is a minimum velocity required for an object to gravitationally escape a celestial body or a solar system and be in free fall.

Derivation of the velocity formula for the elastic head-on collision of two different masses using conservation of momentum and conservation of energy.

Here all important formulas for the horizontal throw are derived and discussed, e.g. throw distance and throw time.

Uniform circular motion from physics simply explained - here you will learn about centripetal acceleration and centripetal force and how they arise.
