Acceleration
In physics or physical
science, acceleration
(symbol: a) is defined as
the rate of change (or
derivative with respect to
time) of velocity. It is
thus a vector quantity with
dimension length/time².

Gravitation
Gravity is a force of
attraction that acts between
bodies that have mass.
Gravity is the reason for
the very existence of the
earth, the sun and other
celestial bodies; without it
matter would not have

Mechanics
Mechanics can be seen as the
prime, and even as the
original, discipline of
physics. It is a huge body
of knowledge about the
natural world. It also
constitutes a central part
of technology. ... > full story
General relativity
General relativity (GR) is
the geometrical theory of
gravitation published by
Albert Einstein in 1915. It
unifies special relativity
and Sir Isaac Newton's law
of universal gravitation
with the insight that
