In 1687‚ Sir Isaac Newton published what are known today as Newton’s three laws of motion. If these laws didn’t exist‚ motion and life would not exist. His three laws are accurately relative to what "normal" speeds are on earth. Newton’s first law is most commonly referred to as the law of inertia. The law states that an object that is at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it‚ and vice-versa. If an object is moving and there is no force to move the object in a different

ASP 0501 EXERCISES – circular motion 1 A car travels at a constant speed around a circular track whose radius is 2.6 km. The car goes once around the track in 360 s. What is the magnitude of the centripetal acceleration of the car? 2 An astronaut in a chamber moves on a circular path‚ much like a model airplane flying in a circle on a guideline. The chamber is located 15 m from the center of the circle. At what speed must the chamber move so that the astronaut is subjected to 7.5 times the acceleration

A discovery I have made in my life is that making mistakes only makes you a better person. Normally when someone makes a mistake‚ it is because that person is inexperienced in whatever they are attempting to do‚ and they are doing it improperly. When we make mistakes we are hopefully learning a very important piece of information‚ what not to do! Life is trial and error‚ we do things wrong and hope we do it better next time. There are many examples of myself making a mistake and in turn never

Newton’s Laws First let’s get to know some history about the man behind all of this‚ Sir Isaac Newton. Sir Isaac Newton‚ the man who is responsible for what we all have come to know as the “Laws of Motion” was born on January 4‚ 1643‚ which is very often displayed as December 25‚ 1642‚ if using the older version of the Julien calendar‚ in the Helmet of Woolsthorpe‚ England. Sir Isaac Newton is believed to be one of the most influential scientists known to have ever lived. His ideas became the basis
