The class covered various concepts in physics including Imphal, force, density, and inertia, emphasizing how objects tend to maintain their state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force. Gravitational field strength was defined as the force experienced per kilogram, with Earth's gravitational field strength on its surface being 9.81 Newtons per kilogram.

Insights

  • Inertia plays a pivotal role in physics, highlighting how objects resist changes in motion unless influenced by an external force, impacting concepts like mass and the difficulty in moving heavy objects.
  • Gravitational field strength, symbolizing the force per kilogram experienced by objects, elucidates the Earth's gravity impact at 9.81 Newtons per kilogram on its surface, emphasizing the relationship between weight and mass in physics.
