Basic Physical Quantities
    There are seven basic physical quantities from which all other units of measurement can be derived. They are:

      Time (s)
      Length (m)
      Luminous intensity (cd)
      Mass (kg)
      Number of particles (moles)
      Temperature (K)
      Charge (C)
Uniformly Accelerating Motion
    v = u + at
    v² = u² + 2as
    s = ut + ½at²
Newton's Laws of Motion
    1. inertia
    2. F = ma
    3. action & reaction
Univeral Law of Gravitation
    F = Gm1m2/r2
Uniform Circular Motion
    Centripetal acceleration is given by
    a = v2/r

    Centripetal force is given by
    F = ma = mv2/r

Friction
    Static friction = Force acting normally to surface x coefficient of static friction
    = FN mS

    Dynamic friction = Force acting normally to surface x coefficient of dynamic friction
    = FN mD
