I have selected to enter the Prof. Isaac Newton’s  physics class. He is a brilliant mathematician whose investigation had an impact in the field of astronomy and physics.

In astronomy he found the law of gravitation which states that

“ Every single point mass attracts every other point mass by a force pointing along the line combining the two. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the point masses:

F= GmM/R^2

F is the magnitude of the gravitational force between the two point masses

G is the gravitational constant

m is the mass of the first point mass

M is the mass of the second point mass

R is the distance between the two point masses” (Wikipedia)

 

The law of gravitation and the three laws of motion combined with the mathematics Prof Isaac Newton developed today known as calculus, served to study statics and kinematics of particles.

The class should cover these topics:

-Force and equilibrium

- Mass and acceleration

-Differential, speed and acceleration

-Motion and frame of reference

-The Universal law of Gravitation
