... The gravitational potential energy for a system of two masses is defined as zero at infinity, where the force between them is zero. Since the gravitational force between masses is attractive, to separate the masses to infinity requires work done on the system. Thus, for any finite separation, the st ...

Acceleration
... In one dimension, i.e. a line, acceleration is the rate at which something speeds up or slows down. However, as a vector quantity, acceleration is also the rate at which direction changes. Acceleration has the dimensions L T?2. In SI units, acceleration is measured in metres per second squared (m/s2 ...

Newton`s Law of Motion.
... Inertia is the idea that an object keeps moving unless acted upon by an outside force. Much of the initial work written about inertia was done by Isaac Newton in the 17th century and became known as his first law of motion. It is one of the basic principles of physics and has a number of real-life a ...
