|
|
first law of motion
|
called the "principle of inertia."
|
|
|
First Revolution of physics
|
synthesis of Issac Newton, which was built on the work of earlier physicists.
|
|
|
Force
|
to a physicist the only forces in nature are gravity. electromagnetism, and the weak and strong nuclear force.
|
|
|
Four-Dimensional Universe
|
Einstein showed that the universe had four dimensions: Length, Width, height, and time.
|
|
|
friction
|
resistance to the motion of an object
|
|

Galoileo, Galilei
|
Italian Physicist and astronomer 1564-1642
|
|

Gravity
|
universal force of the attraction of the mass of an object
|
|

Kepler, Johannes
|
german astronomer and mathematician, 1571-1630
|

mass
|
Total quantity of an object's matter.

Motion
|
Movement of objects
|
|
|
Newton, Sir Issac
|
English physicist, mathematician, and philosopher, 1642-1727
|
|
|
Rate of acceleration
|
the change in the velocity of the motion of an object.
|
|
|
Second law of motion
|
describes how an object changes direction when a force is applied to it. the formula that expresses it is: F=ma
|
|
|
space-time
|
Einstein showed that space and time were similar and that both were influenced by gravity
|
|
|
Third law of motion
|
for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
|
|
|
third law of motion
|
laws that govern the movement of all objects, at all time, and in all circumstances. these laws were formulated by newton.
|
|
|
Vector Analysis
|
the anaysis of the different forces on an object resulting in the calculation of net force
|
|
|
Velocity
|
rate of motion in a particular direction. the formula that expresses it is: v=gt (velocity equals acceleration multiplied by time.)
