    According Peter M. McGinnis (2013) the Newton’s first law is about the linear kinematic and is called law of Inertia. This law states that, ‘everybody continues in it states of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it’ (McGinnis, 2013, p.88). Simpler, the law of Inertia says that if there is no external force acts on a subject, that subject will not move and it will remain in states of rest or if it was moving it will…

    A fluid in which the viscous stresses taken place from its flow at all the point are linearly proportional to the rate of change in its deformation over time is called Newtonian fluid. Newtonian fluid explains the relationship between the shear rate and the shear stress is linear with the proportionality constant, which is to be referred as the coefficient of viscosity. Non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid where the properties of fluid flow are not similar with Newtonian fluid. In Newtonian fluids,…

    Newton's Second Law: It describes what happens to the body when it is affected by force, as it shows the relationship between the force affecting the body, and the movement acquired by the body. Through the study of Newton's first law, we see that in the absence of an effective force on an object or the existence of a group of balanced forces affecting it, This body will be in a state of stillness or regular movement in the straight line. We continue to study the movement of objects when a force…

    with his telescope, he observed Jupiter’s four major moons on multiple occasions and found that they seemed to orbit Jupiter instead of the Earth. He disproved the Aristotelian theory with many experiments. His most famous experiment being his law of motion experiment in which Galileo got a musket ball and a cannonball and launched them off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Both balls landed close to the same time; the musket ball hit the ground a small portion of a second later due to air…
