Law of inertia

If the particles had a greater charge, they would be bent more because the deflecting force is directly proportional to the charge (If the particles were more massive, they would be bent less by the magnetic force—obeying the law of inertia.)... [Pg.684]

In modern usage, the measure of translational inertia is mass. Newton s first law of motion is sometimes called the Law of Inertia, a label which adds nothing to the meaning of the first law. Newton s first and second laws together are required for a full description of the consequences of a body s inertia. [Pg.158]

Sir Isaac Newton s law of inertia. Things will go on moving unless prevented by an opposing force. Death, in this case. [Pg.62]

The mechanical systems which ordinarily surroimd us are rendered extremely complex by the continual presence of friction thus, unless one attacks, with Kepler and Galileo, celestial mechanics free from friction, one is compelled to consider groups of bodies susceptible of rubbing against each other and it becomes impossible to discover simple laws, such as Ibe law of inertia which must serve as the basis for dynamics— for a dynamics no doubt too abstract and ideal, but whose creation had necessarily to precede the theory of friction. [Pg.402]

Law of inertia A body stays in motion or at rest unless acted on by outside forces. [Pg.933]

The significance of each dimensionless group is (MglptYO ) This group is a special form of Newton s law of inertia. By substituting M from N nMD, the group transforms into from which the power requirement for the operation of balling pans can be derived. [Pg.962]

The momentum of a system remains constant if there are no external forces acting on the system. This is actually Newton s first law, the law of inertia. The conservation of momentum is valid in classical mechanics. However, Heisenberg s principle of uncertainty states that... [Pg.75]

Once Galileo had demonstrated the inconsistencies in Aristotle s theory of motion and Kepler had formulated the laws of planetary motion, the only remaining obstacle to the development of a mathematical model of the solar system was the law of inertia, still based on uniform circular motion. This final problem was removed by the French mathematician and philosopher, Descartes. [Pg.34]

The aether of a rotating vortex tends to recede from the central star under centrifugal pressure which becomes visible as light, emitted by the star and reflected by the planets. Because of its confinement in the foam-like structure the aether exerts an inward pressure on the planets. The reason why planets are not pushed into the central star is because they are in a state of uniform linear motion. Under aetherial pressure the direction of this motion changes continually and in the state of balance the planet stays on a closed characteristic orbit around the sun. Although Newton scoffed at the Cartesian model he gave the law of inertia in this exact same form. [Pg.34]

Law of Inertia Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it. [Pg.38]

Newton s first law of motion is also called the law of inertia. It states that an object at rest will remain at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. [Pg.82]

The first law is essentially Galileo s law of inertia and it defines the term force. The second law relates force to mass and acceleration. If the concept of force is taken from elsewhere, then the first law can be derived from the second law. For a rigid body, the third law can be derived from the second law but not for the deformable bodies. Hence, the third law is an independent law, in general. [Pg.63]

The first law of motion An object at rest tends to stay at rest, and an object in motion tends to stay in motion, as long as no unbalanced force acts on that object. (This is sometimes known as the law of inertia.)... [Pg.260]

A second consequence of causality and the law of inertia is the dc-conductivity sum rule... [Pg.13]

In classical mechanics, the motion of a particle is governed by Newton s three laws, which we accept as generalizations of experimental fact. Newton s first law is called the law of inertia A stationary particle tends to remain stationary unless acted on by a force, and a moving particle tends to continue moving with unchanged velocity unless acted on by a force. The first law is a special case of Newton s second law, which is called the law of acceleration. If a particle moves only in the x direction, Newton s second law is... [Pg.387]

Classical mechanics is based on Newton s three laws. The first law is the law of inertia If not acted upon by a force, a stationary object remains stationary, and a moving object continues to move in a straight line at a constant speed. [Pg.1267]

The minus sign in this expression corresponds to the general physical law of inertia the induction current in a contour is always directed in a way that opposes the reason of its appearance. This statement is referred to as the Lenz rule. [Pg.328]
