The laws of physics are the focus of this module.

The four topics covered in this module are Newton's


Laws of Motion and Gravity, Projectile Motion, Basics of Motion and Freefall, and Conservation Laws.

Motion is described as the change in position over a specified period of time in Basics of Motion and
Freefall. Distance is the total distance measured between any two specified places. The measured mean
distance traveled between the two (2) specified sites is known as displacement. The succession of
events between instances is called time. Speed is a scalar quantity that can be written as (s) is the
change in distance (d) per unit time and is defined as the total distance traveled per unit of time (t). The
observed speed between two (2) designated points is referred to as velocity. The change in velocity per
unit of time is known as acceleration. While projectile motion is a type of free-falling motion in which an
object—often called a projectile—flies over the air at a specific angle; the object's trajectory is known as
the motion's route. Projectile motion is influenced by six (6) key factors, including the launch velocity,
impact velocity, angle of elevation, maximum height, range, and flight time. Newton's First Law of
Motion is the umbrella term for the laws of inertia, acceleration, and interaction. According to the Law
of Inertia, an object will not deviate from its equilibrium unless an uneven external force acts to modify
it. When left unchecked, force has the tendency to alter the state of motion of an item. According to the
Law of Inertia, there are two different kinds of forces: Contact Forces, which two things produce
whenever they are considered to be in physical contact (friction, tension force, normal force, air
resistance, spring force and applied force). Noncontact Force is the force that two objects produce apart
from one another (gravitational, electromagnetic forces and gravitational force). According to Newton's
Law of Acceleration, an object accelerates if an imbalanced net force is applied to it; the acceleration is
exactly related to the net force, the object is traveling in the direction of the net force, and the object's
mass. Under the Law of Acceleration, there are four different types of forces: Frictional Force (F f), which
is the resistance of a surface or an object acting upon another object in contact with it (going left),
Weight (F W), which is acceleration due to gravity (going down), Normal Force (F N), which acts against
weight and is always perpendicular to the surface the object is resting upon (going up), and Applied
Force (F a p p), which is force directly applied to an (going right). The behavior of objects when the
forces acting on them are out of balance is explained by Newton's Second Law. Additionally, forces do
not just result in motion; they also create accelerations, which result in motion. Last but not least, The
Law of Interaction asserts that there is always an opposite and equal reaction to every force. Gravity is a
force that pushes everything toward its center according to the conservation laws and gravity. The Law
of Conservation of Mass and the Law of Conservation of Energy are the two conservation laws.
synchronous interaction between two or more bodies in a collision caused by an internal force between
the bodies. There are two different kinds of collisions: elastic collisions, in which the involved bodies
maintain their motion and energy following impact. Because energy is really lost more often than
conserved, inelastic collisions happen more frequently than elastic collisions.

In conclusion, one of the most crucial aspects of our existence is physics. In everything we do, physics
applies. We use the physics principles in our daily actions.
