Newton's Second Law

The net force on an object is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force and inversely proportional to the mass.

Uniformly Accelerated Motion

Motion with a constant change in velocity over equal time intervals.

Acceleration due to gravity

The constant acceleration experienced by objects due to Earth's gravitational pull, approximately 9.8 m/s².

Projectile Motion

The curved path an object follows when thrown or projected, influenced by gravity.
