Contact forces (friction, normal reaction, tension) and non-contact forces (gravitational, electric, magnetic); inverse square relation
Units of force: newton and dyne; gravitational units kgf and gf and their relation to absolute units
Newton's first law: inertia, static and dynamic inertia; definition of force from the first law
Linear momentum p = mv; rate of change of momentum; Newton's second law F = ma
Newton's third law: action-reaction pairs act on different bodies
