Key Concepts
- The fundamental equation of Newtonian mechanics is F = ma, valid for systems with constant mass.
- Work done in a conservative force field leads to the conservation of total mechanical energy.
- An inertial frame is defined as a frame of reference where the equation of motion of a particle remains invariant.
- Different types of forces are discussed, including constant force, force dependent on time, central force, and viscous drag force.
