G2 Physics 1

1) The document discusses concepts related to mechanics including resultant forces, rectilinear motion, angular motion, and curvilinear motion. It provides definitions, formulas, and sample problems for calculating things like resultant force, velocity, displacement, angular displacement, and more. 2) Sample problems are included throughout covering topics like calculating resultant force given two forces acting at an angle, finding velocity of an object moving in a current, and projectile motion problems. 3) The last section discusses the law of universal gravitation, providing the formula and sample problems calculating gravitational force between two masses and calculating height where weight is halved.

Motion along a straight path at constant speed or velocity.
UNIFORMLY ACCELERATED MOTION
Motion in a straight line in which the direction is always the same and the speed
changes at a constant rate.

Motion in a straight line in which the direction is always the same and the speed
changes at a constant rate.

ANGULAR MOTION

angular parameters in the formulas of rectilinear motion
(𝑎 → 𝛼, 𝑣 → 𝜔, 𝑠 →𝜃 )
𝜃 = 𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑟 𝑑𝑖𝑠𝑝𝑙𝑎𝑐𝑒𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡
