  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.

    Protein folding problem: Is it possible to predict the secondary, tertiary and quaternary structure of a polypeptide sequence based solely on the sequence and environmental information? Inverse protein-folding problem: Is it possible to design a polypeptide sequence which will adopt a given structure under certain environmental conditions?

  4. Newtonian dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_dynamics

    The configuration space and the phase space of the dynamical system both are Euclidean spaces, i. e. they are equipped with a Euclidean structure.The Euclidean structure of them is defined so that the kinetic energy of the single multidimensional particle with the unit mass = is equal to the sum of kinetic energies of the three-dimensional particles with the masses , …,:

  5. Free body diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_body_diagram

    By Newton's 3rd law if body A exerts a force on body B then B exerts an equal and opposite force on A. This should not be confused with the equal and opposite forces that are necessary to hold a body in equilibrium.) Internal forces. (For example, if an entire truss is being analyzed, the forces between the individual truss members are not ...

  6. Newton–Euler equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton–Euler_equations

    Traditionally the Newton–Euler equations is the grouping together of Euler's two laws of motion for a rigid body into a single equation with 6 components, using column vectors and matrices. These laws relate the motion of the center of gravity of a rigid body with the sum of forces and torques (or synonymously moments) acting on the rigid body.

  7. Newtonian fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_fluid

    This constitutive equation is also called the Newton law of viscosity. The total stress tensor σ {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\sigma }}} can always be decomposed as the sum of the isotropic stress tensor and the deviatoric stress tensor ( σ ′ {\displaystyle {\boldsymbol {\sigma }}'} ):

  8. Laws of thermodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laws_of_thermodynamics

    Traditionally, thermodynamics has recognized three fundamental laws, simply named by an ordinal identification, the first law, the second law, and the third law. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] A more fundamental statement was later labelled as the zeroth law after the first three laws had been established.

    Newton's proof of Kepler's second law, as described in the book. If a continuous centripetal force (red arrow) is considered on the planet during its orbit, the area of the triangles defined by the path of the planet will be the same. This is true for any fixed time interval. When the interval tends to zero, the force can be considered ...
