Laws of Motion

You’re probably aware of the Earth’s gravitational pull on you. You might not realize it, but you’re pulling up on the Earth as well. For example, if the Earth exerts a gravitational force of 500 N on you, you exert a gravitational force of 500 N on the Earth. This incredible phenomena is due to […]

Introduction Newton’s laws of motion were initially published in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, commonly referred to as the ‘Principia’, 1687. Newton developed the laws of motion to explain the elliptical shape of the planetary orbits. They proved to be of great scientific importance for centuries after. Newton’s Laws of Motion Newton’s first law explains inertia:

Introduction Newton’s second law of motion relates to the behaviour of the objects in which all the forces are unbalanced. The law states that the acceleration of the object depends on two variables: force on the object and the mass of the object The acceleration and the force are directly proportional to each other. This

Newton’s second law of motion, also known as the law of acceleration, states that the magnitude of the force acting on an object is equal to the product of that particular object’s mass and the acceleration at which it is moving. This means that the acceleration generated in a body is directly proportional to the

Newton’s Law of motion are the three physical laws that are the most important aspects to understand the science of kinematics. These three Newton’s Laws describe the relationship between the movement of an object and the force acting on it. They are essential because they form the basis of classical mechanics, one of the main

In the 17th century, Sir Isaac Newton published three laws pertaining to the motion of objects. The first law of Newton is an introduction of the object and the force acting on it. Mainly, Newton’s first law of motion deals with the motion of an object and its relation to force. Sir Isaac Newton’s laws

Sir Isaac Newton first presented his three laws of motion in 1686 in Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis. His first law states that any object, whether at rest or in uniform motion, will remain in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is usually used as

When we speak of natural laws or the laws of physics, we are dealing with state facts, which are derived from verifications with the scientific method. In other words, the laws of physics are born out of empirical observations. In other words, the laws of physics help to describe the behaviour of the world around

Multiplication of vectors is an important tool in many fields of physics, including distance, energies, forces, work done, electric or magnetic fields, and many more applications.  Multiplication of any vector with a real number is known as scalar multiplication. This multiplication alters the magnitude of the vector but does not disturb its direction. However, if

Introduction When an object changes its position in accordance with its surroundings with time, it is called motion. Motion is basically a change in the position of an object over a period of time. Motion in a straight line is a linear motion.  The main aspects of motion in a straight line is mentioned during this course
