  2. List of eponymous laws - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_eponymous_laws

    The name "Eroom" is "Moore" spelled backward, in order to contrast it with Moore's law. Euler's laws of motion: extends Newton's laws of motion for point particle to rigid body motion. Faraday's law of induction: a magnetic field changing in time creates a proportional electromotive force. Named for Michael Faraday, based on his work in 1831.

  3. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's third law relates to a more fundamental principle, the conservation of momentum. The latter remains true even in cases where Newton's statement does not, for instance when force fields as well as material bodies carry momentum, and when momentum is defined properly, in quantum mechanics as well.

    [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 ...

    (A d'Alembert force is not to be confused with a contact force arising from the physical interaction between two objects, which is the subject of Newton's third law – 'action is reaction'. [ 13 ] [ 14 ] In terms of the example of the passenger vehicle above, a contact force emerges when the body of the passenger touches the backrest of the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classical_mechanics

    Classical mechanics was traditionally divided into three main branches. Statics is the branch of classical mechanics that is concerned with the analysis of force and torque acting on a physical system that does not experience an acceleration, but rather is in equilibrium with its environment. [3]

    (Newton's later first law of motion is to similar effect, Law 1 in the Principia.) 3: Forces combine by a parallelogram rule. Newton treats them in effect as we now treat vectors. This point reappears in Corollaries 1 and 2 to the third law of motion, Law 3 in the Principia.

  8. Third law - Wikipedia

    Third law may refer to: Newton's third law of motion, one of Newton's laws of motion; Third law of thermodynamics; Kepler's Third law of planetary motion; Mendel's third law, or the Law of Dominance; Third Law, 2016 album by Roly Porter

  9. Magnus effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus_effect

    The topspinning cylinder "pulls" the airflow up and the air in turn pulls the cylinder down, as per Newton's Third Law. On a cylinder, the force due to rotation is an example of Kutta–Joukowski lift. It can be analysed in terms of the vortex produced by rotation.
