Newton's First LawNewton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. It may be seen as a statement about inertia, that objects will remain in their state of motion unless a force acts to change the motion. Any change in motion involves an acceleration, and then Newton's Second Law applies; in fact, the First Law is just a special case of the Second Law for which the net external force is zero.Newton's First Law contains implications about the fundamental symmetry of the universe in that a state of motion in a straight line must be just as "natural" as being at rest. If an object is at rest in one frame of reference, it will appear to be moving in a straight line to an observer in a reference frame which is moving by the object. There is no way to say which reference frame is "special", so all constant velocity reference frames must be equivalent. | Index

Centripetal Force ExampleThe string must provide the necessary centripetal force to move the ball in a circle. If the string breaks, the ball will move off in a straight line. The straight line motion in the absence of the constraining force is an example of Newton's first law. The example here presumes that no other net forces are acting, such as horizontal motion on a frictionless surface. The vertical circle is more involved.

Newton's Second LawNewton's Second Law as stated below applies to a wide range of physical phenomena, but it is not a fundamental principle like the Conservation Laws. It is applicable only if the force is the net external force. It does not apply directly to situations where the mass is changing, either from loss or gain of material, or because the object is traveling close to the speed of light where relativistic effects must be included. It does not apply directly on the very small scale of the atom where quantum mechanics must be used.Data can be entered into any of the boxes below. Specifying any two of the quantities determines the third. After you have entered values for two, click on the text representing to third to calculate its value. -------------------------------------------------

Biomechanics Analysis Report By Taleah Castley Teacher: Mr Denning Synopsis I filmed myself performing a free throw before a four week training programme that focused on improving my throw, it was videoed again afterwards. In this report I have identified the main biomechanical principles that I need to improve in my free throw. The biomechanical principles I have focused on are summation of force and line of force. To improve these principles I needed to bend my legs more, have the ball positioned…
Also, to help raise awareness of the importance of neighborhood watch. In this report will be reasons why communications needs to be updated including, the safety of the public, it can help officers respond faster, how it can help during disasters when communication is very important. It will also state how it is very important it would be and how helpful it would be during pursuits of suspects over county and state lines. Assumptions I’m assuming that this will do the following: Communication will…
car enthusiast looks for quite a few things in a vehicle. 0-60 times being in the 4-second region make a compelling start and can drop jaws on many people. However true car enthusiasts looks deeper, to things like 60-0 braking distances, how many G-forces a car can pull on the skid pad, and then most importantly, who can their car beat? With all these factors in mind, looking for a supercar of performance but not being a millionaire, thousands of people have turned to the Chevrolet Corvette since 1953…
Physics Lab Report#6 “Analyzing Stress and Strain Using Hooke’s Law ” Name: Fei Huo Date performed: November 5st, 2014 Period 5 Teacher: Mr. Glasel Purpose: The Purpose of this lab was to examine the relationship between force and the elongation on two different springs and a rubber band. Introduction: My classmates and I were using two different springs and a rubber band to see the relationship between the force and the elongation from the mass of some weights. We had to measure…
Serving in the military is for many the most honored position they will hold in their lifetime. Many dedicate their entire lives to serving their country. For some soldiers however their dream of proudly serving their country was cut short because they are gay, lesbian or bisexual. America’s attitude towards acceptance of homosexuals has continued to grow over the past couple of decades, but full acceptance and equality is still far off. Nowhere are attitudes towards homosexuality more conservative…

and the Ideal Gas Model. A. Gases consist of molecular particles moving at any given instant in straight lines. 1. When an individual particle, moving in a straight line, strikes the wall of its container, it exerts a force. 2. This force reflects a uniform force on all sides of the container and can be deemed “Pressure”. 3. The force of these collisions is directly proportional to the kinetic energy of the particles or the Kelvin temperature…

protest the discrimination gays were receiving in New York City but have become an everyday goal to end discrimination against all gays and lesbians. Even though there have been many people fighting to end discrimination homosexual individuals still report discrimination every day including 97% of students that say they hear remarks that are homophobic. Since the march in 1969 the rights of homosexuals have come a long way. There are some states that allow same sex partners to get married. Some of…
Physio Cardio Lab Report Answers Activity 1 Questions: 1. Explain how the body establishes a pressure gradient for fluid flow. Pressure gradient is the flow rate of a liquid through a pipe. This is directly proportional to the difference between the pressures at the two ends of the pipe and inversely proportional to the pip's resistance. The pressure gradient is directly dependent upon blood vessel radius which essentially controls blood flow. The bigger the blood vessel radius, the more…
