Newton's Laws of Motion

This lecture covers Newton's three laws of motion, including the first law of inertia, the second law relating force, mass, and acceleration, and the third law of action and reaction. It also discusses the application of these laws in various scenarios, such as experimental tests confirming Newton's second law for small accelerations. The lecture delves into the concept of inertial frames of reference and the experimental verification of Newton's laws in different contexts, like astrophysical phenomena. Additionally, it explores the definition of mass operationally and conceptually, highlighting the importance of understanding the fundamental principles of classical mechanics.
