Newton's First Law is also called | The Law of Inertia |
Newton's Second Law is also called | The Law of Acceleration |
Newton's Third Law is also called | The Law of Interaction |
Newton's First Law states | An object in motion stays in motion, an object at rest stays at rest, unless acted on by a force. |
Newton's Second Law states | F=ma |
Newton's Third Law states | For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. |
displacement | movement from one point to another |
velocity | the time rate of displacement |
acceleration | the time rate of change in velocity |
g | the acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface, 9.80 m/s/s |
G | the universal gravitation constant |
Edmund Halley | Friend of Newton who confirmed Law of Gravity solving comet problem |
Robert Boyle | Rival of Newton who downplayed Newton's discoveries |
Henry Cavendish | Experimentally determined the value of "G" |
"The Miracle Year" | Newton's 23rd year when he made most of his discoveries |
Cambridge University | where Newton went to college and where he taught |
Oxford University | oldest university in England, where Boyle taught |
Principia Mathematica | Newton's seminal book that established classical physics |
Catherine Barton Conduitt | Newton's niece who started the apple hitting him on the head story |
Momentum | the product of mass and velocity |
Impulse | a change in momentum, the product of force and time |
