Newton's Laws of motion, Gravitation

This lecture consists of an introduction to Newton's Laws of Motion, followed by Newton's Law of Gravitation. We derive the formula for the weight of a given mass and the derivation of the acceleration de to gravity.

The main topics are:

• Laws of motion
  • Law of Inertia
  • F = ma
  • Law of Action-Reaction
• Newton's Law of Gravitation
• Weight and Acceleration due to Gravity
