Newton's Laws of Motion

Velocity vs. Mass

Newton's Second Law

Mass and Force

Space and Time

Large Mass

Large Velocity (close to speed of light c)

Small mass would be quantum relativity

Small velocity is classical mechanics

Large Mass, Large Velocity is relativistic mechanics

Vectors

Time is when things happen. It is a universal parameter everyone agrees on

Space is where things happen

Reference Frame is place of spatial origin with axes x, y, z

Inertial Frame is where basic laws of motion hold up (not accelerating or rotating)

*Reference Frames also have temporal origin

Newton's First Law

Units with speed and direction in space

Can be multiplied by cross product

Can be added together

Can multiply with a scalar

Can be differentiated

Derivative of velocity is acceleration

Derivative of position is velocity

Newton's Third Law

Force (N)

Mass (kg)

Proportional to weight

Characteristic of Inertia

A push or a pull

Point mass has mass but no size

Law of Inertia

Newton's Laws are valid in Inertial Frames ✅

In the absence of forces, a particle mass moves with constant velocity

For any particle of mass m, the net force is always equal to its mass times the particle's acceleration

F=ma

Can be integrated to find the position vector and velocity vectors

If one object exerts a force on object 2, then object 2 exerts a reaction force on object 1

Central forces

Magnetic Force

Gravitational Force

Static Force

Validity

It is an exact law for classical model

In relativistic domain, there is problems with simultaneity
