    Newton's law of universal gravitation extends gravity beyond earth. The law of the universal gravitation is about the universality of gravity. Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every particle is attached with each other particle in the universe. Newton’s law of the universal gravitation states that, “Any two bodies in the universe attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between

    mathematics and physics. He came up with the theories of gravitation in 1666 when he was only 23 years old. In 1686, he told people about the three laws of motion, that he created, in the “ Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis.” They are known as Newton’s first, second, and third law. Newton’s first law says that every object will be at rest or in motion unless forced to change by the action of an external force. This is known to be the definition of inertia. The point is that if there is no net

    Throughout my research paper, I will be discussing how the Newton’s Laws of Motion apply to automobiles. I believe this is an extremely interesting and relatable topic because we are at the age where we are beginning to start driving. Although some people may not currently be driving, we have friends or acquaintances who are able to do so and should be informed on how a collision happens and how it can affect the car and people inside. Adults nowadays are not serious about driving even though it’s

    physicist who had developed his three laws of motion by the age of 23. He was born in 1642 the same year the Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei died. Galileo’s work helped to influence or set the stage for the development and creation of Newton’s three laws. Newton’s three laws of motion consists of the first law which is the concepts of inertia, second law which is relating acceleration to its cause and lastly the third law which is action and reaction. The laws of motion were interpreted in the most famous

    realized the law of gravity while observing a falling apple. Had Newton watched a baseball game instead, he might have formulated all three laws of motion by the seventh-inning stretch. Pitching Newton's First Law of Motion states that every object remains at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan recorded 5,714 strikeouts, as documented in the Baseball Almanac, using the first law when throwing

    Laws of Motion and Automobiles Felicia Huerta Pre-AP Physics  Sir Isaac Newton once stated, “I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people,” referring to the ability to prevent accidents from occurring. Throughout my research paper, I will be discussing how the Newton’s Laws of Motion apply to automobiles. I believe this is an extremely interesting and relatable topic because we are at the age where we are beginning to drive without relying on our parents. Although

    Enlightenment. Newton’s ‘Philsophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica’ and Diderot’s Encyclopedia were both composed of characteristics that developed this time period through the desire to understand all life, humans are capable of understanding the Earth, and a sense of independence from not having to rely on the nobles or church for knowledge. Newton’s writings have had a profound effect on modern day science, astronomy, physics, as well as scientific reason. His discoveries and laws set a foundation

    destroyed, however, it is conserved through forces like gravity, which is known as conservation of energy. Kinetic and potential energy are the two most important types of energy that a roller coaster needs to function. Kinetic energy is energy of motion, the faster an object or something moves, the more kinetic energy it possesses. On the other hand, potential energy is defined as energy of position or stored energy. The roller coaster utilizes potential energy, which is dependent of the mass of

    The data collected agrees with Newton’s 2nd Law. Newton’s 2nd Law describes how the acceleration of an object is dependent on two things: the mass of that object, and the net force acting upon that object. As the mass of an object increases, its acceleration decreases. Our experiment directly relates to and agrees with this law of motion. The starting mass of our object was 653.7 grams, with an average acceleration of 0.8771 m/s². As
