NEWTONS_LAWS

Newton's three laws of motion are the bedrock upon which classical mechanics is built. These three laws state:

You should be able to state Newton's law of motion.
You should be able to explain how the terms system, envinroment and state are used to mean in classical mechanics.
You should be able to write out a mathematical statement of Newton's second law using a derivative.
You should be able to explain the connection between Newton's third law and the conservation principles that are at the heart of physics.
You should be able to explain what we mean when we refer to a potential in physics and how forces can be calculated from potentials.
