Force

Force is the subject of Newton's three laws of mechanics.

   

Newton's Third law

Newton's third law states that forces that two bodies exert on one another are equal in magnitude and oppositie in direction.

Newton's second law

The force is the rate of change of momentum. For particles with a constant mass, this is equivalent to F= m*a, which is now Netwton's second law is ommonly expressed in elementary physics.

Newton's first law

A particle has no change in velocity unless acted upon by a force.

Net force

Forces combine like mathematical vectors.


Connections to personal studies, anthropology, culture, institutions, sociology, and history will be developed as the site expands.

Other areas of science can be applied. This can be applied to biology, earth science, astronomy, and chemistry but does not depend on them heavily. It is connected to other areas of physics.
