Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (English: The Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) [ 1] often referred to as simply the Principia ( / prɪnˈsɪpiə, prɪnˈkɪpiə / ), is a book by Isaac Newton that expounds Newton's laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation.
Newton's first law expresses the principle of inertia: the natural behavior of a body is to move in a straight line at constant speed. A body's motion preserves the status quo, but external forces can perturb this. The modern understanding of Newton's first law is that no inertial observer is privileged over any other.
Newtonianism. Newtonianism is a philosophical and scientific doctrine inspired by the beliefs and methods of natural philosopher Isaac Newton. While Newton's influential contributions were primarily in physics and mathematics, his broad conception of the universe as being governed by rational and understandable laws laid the foundation for many ...
Inertia is the tendency of objects in motion to stay in motion and objects at rest to stay at rest, unless a force causes its speed or direction to change. It is one of the fundamental principles in classical physics, and described by Isaac Newton in his first law of motion (also known as The Principle of Inertia). [1]
In physics, theories of gravitation postulate mechanisms of interaction governing the movements of bodies with mass. There have been numerous theories of gravitation since ancient times. The first extant sources discussing such theories are found in ancient Greek philosophy. This work was furthered through the Middle Ages by Indian, Islamic ...
De motu corporum in gyrum. De motu corporum in gyrum[ a] (from Latin: "On the motion of bodies in an orbit"; abbreviated De Motu[ b]) is the presumed title of a manuscript by Isaac Newton sent to Edmond Halley in November 1684. The manuscript was prompted by a visit from Halley earlier that year when he had questioned Newton about problems then ...
