physics
easy gravity
you can use this formula for a game
example
sprite 1("ground")
this fellow is usually a long rectangle or set of obstacles.
[blocks]<go to x 
0 )y -220 [/blocks]
sprite 2("sprite")
this fellow's look's can differ
moving smoothly
you can use this formula game characters
example
sprite 1("sprite")
this fellow will move smoothly when the right and left arrows are clicked 
easy orbit
you can use this in a single planet with no moons solar system simulation
example
sprite 1("sun")
this fellow usually a yellow sphere
[block]<go to x 0 )y 0 [/block]
sprite 2("planet")
this can be a circle of any color
harder orbit
you can use this formula in a solar system simulation
sprite 1("sun")
this fellow usually a yellow sphere
[blocks]<go to x 0 )y 0 [/blocks]
sprite 2("planet")
this can be a circle of any color
waves
you can use this formula in a game,animation, or wave simulation
example
sprite 1("sprite")
this fellow can be any shape
pendulums
you can use this for a game or a pendulum simulation
example
sprite 1("pendulum")
this fellow is usually a stick with a ball on the bottom
hope this helped!

Nice scripts 
Have you ever considered writing tutorials on the Scratch Wiki?

Re: physics
Good scripts, but the gravity ones can (and should) all go under the same forever- too many forever's slow down your game.

i don't understand
The gravity scripts should all go under the same forever block - too many forevers slow down your game.

True. That's why when advanced Scratchers make complicated games, they uses broadcasts, not forevers... or at least limiting the forever.

but asking "i don't understand" is just implying that you want an answer, and all statements that have an answer to it are questions, so that changes to a question of "can you explain that because i don't understand"
i have no idea what your talking about.i never asked a question.this topic is to inform new scratchers how to use physics on scratch.
