Newtonian Mechanics: Fundamentals and Applications

This lecture covers the fundamental concepts of Newtonian mechanics, including reference frames, Newton's laws of motion, and their application to ballistic motion. It also explores the concept of a point mass, rectilinear uniform motion, and the decomposition of projectile motion. The instructor emphasizes the importance of choosing the right reference frame and understanding the principles of inertia and gravitational forces. Practical examples, such as the motion of bodies on inclined planes, are used to illustrate these concepts.
