  2. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's laws are often stated in terms of point or particle masses, that is, bodies whose volume is negligible. This is a reasonable approximation for real bodies when the motion of internal parts can be neglected, and when the separation between bodies is much larger than the size of each.

  3. Social physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_Physics

    Social physics or sociophysics is a field of science which uses mathematical tools inspired by physics to understand the behavior of human crowds. In a modern commercial use, it can also refer to the analysis of social phenomena with big data. Social physics is closely related to econophysics, which uses physics methods to describe economics.

  4. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.

  5. Laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_motion

    In physics, a number of noted theories of the motion of objects have developed. Among the best known are: Classical mechanics. Newton's laws of motion; Euler's laws of motion; Cauchy's equations of motion; Kepler's laws of planetary motion ; General relativity; Special relativity; Quantum mechanics

  6. Analytical mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analytical_mechanics

    Newton's method has been successfully applied to a wide range of physical problems, including the motion of a particle in Earth's gravitational field and the motion of planets around the Sun. In this approach, Newton's laws describe the motion by a differential equation and then the problem is reduced to the solving of that equation.

  7. Branches of physics - Wikipedia

    psychophysics, the science of physical relations in psychology; quantum computing, the study of quantum-mechanical computation systems; sociophysics or social physics, is a field of science which uses mathematical tools inspired by physics to understand the behaviour of human crowds

    The children were waiting for a school bus outside an apartment complex when they were seized in Fishersville. They were later tracked down to Alabama.

  9. Social science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_science

    The social science of law, jurisprudence, in common parlance, means a rule that (unlike a rule of ethics) is capable of enforcement through institutions. [31] However, many laws are based on norms accepted by a community and thus have an ethical foundation. The study of law crosses the boundaries between the social sciences and humanities ...
