The force of gravity between two objects is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely
Work is defined as the force applied to an object times the distance it moves in the direction of the
force.
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity and is conserved in an isolated system.
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed; it can only be transformed from one form to another.
The first law of thermodynamics states that the change in internal energy of a system is equal to the
Newton's first law states that an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an external
force.
The potential energy of an object at height h is given by mgh, where m is mass, g is acceleration
A transformer is a device used to increase or decrease the voltage of an alternating current supply.
