  2. Concurrent powers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concurrent_powers

    Concurrent powers can therefore be divided into two kinds: those not generally subject to federal pre-emption, such as the power to tax private citizens, and other concurrent powers. [2] In the United States, examples of the concurrent powers shared by both the federal and the state governments include the powers to tax, to spend, and to create ...

  3. Separation of powers under the United States Constitution

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers_under...

    Concurrent powers makes it so that both federal and state governments can create laws, deal with environmental protection, maintain national parks and prisons, and provide a police force. The judicial branch of government holds powers as well. They have the ability to use express and concurrent powers to make laws and establish regulations.

  4. 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.

  5. Parallelogram of force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_of_force

    This procedure can be repeated to add F 3 to the resultant F 1 + F 2, and so forth. The parallelogram of forces is a method for solving (or visualizing) the results of applying two forces to an object. When more than two forces are involved, the geometry is no longer a parallelogram, but the same principles apply to a polygon of forces.

  6. Congressional power of enforcement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congressional_power_of...

    The Court decided that the law was a valid exercise of Congress's enforcement power under the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, because it was aimed at remedying state-sponsored discrimination, despite an earlier court finding that a literacy test was not in and of itself a violation of the 14th Amendment.

  7. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    In the physical science of dynamics, rigid-body dynamics studies the movement of systems of interconnected bodies under the action of external forces.The assumption that the bodies are rigid (i.e. they do not deform under the action of applied forces) simplifies analysis, by reducing the parameters that describe the configuration of the system to the translation and rotation of reference ...

  8. Reaction (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_(physics)

    [1] [2] The third law is also more generally stated as: "To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts." [3] The attribution of which of the two forces is the action and which is the reaction is arbitrary. Either of the two can be ...

  9. Newton's theorem of revolving orbits - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_theorem_of...

    Newton illustrates his formula with three examples. In the first two, the central force is a power law, F(r) = r n−3, so C(r) is proportional to r n. The formula above indicates that the angular motion is multiplied by a factor k = 1/ √ n, so that the apsidal angle α equals 180°/ √ n.
