Newton’s second law of motion

The equation of motion is based on the law of conservation of momentum (Newton s second law of motion). This equation is written as... 

In its most simplistic form, Newton s equation of motion (also known as Newton s second law of motion) states that... 

We next consider the consequences of Newton s second law of motion i.e. the consequences of the fact that the rate of change of momentum of a fluid cell must equal the total force that is acting on it. 

A force, F, is an influence that changes the state of motion of an object. For instance, we exert a force to open a door—to start the door swinging open—and we exert a force on a ball when we hit it with a bat. According to Newton s second law of motion, when an object experiences a force, it is accelerated. The acceleration, a, of the object, the rate of change of its velocity, is proportional to the force that it experiences ... 

To calculate the force exerted by a single molecule, we use Newton s second law of motion force is equal to the rate of change of momentum of a particle (Section A). Momentum is the product of mass and velocity so, if a molecule of mass m is traveling with a velocity vx parallel to the side of the box that we are calling x, then its linear momentum before it strikes the wall on the right is mvx. Immediately after the collision, the momentum of the molecule is mvx because the velocity has changed from vx to —vx. 

Many models in the physical sciences take the form of mathematical relationships, equations connecting some property with other parameters of the system. Some of these relationships are quite simple, e.g., Newton s second law of motion, which says that force = mass x acceleration F = ma. Newton s gravitational law for the attractive force F between two masses m and m2 also takes a rather simple form... 

Momentum balance equations are of importance in problems involving the flow of fluids. Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity and as stated by Newton s second law of motion, force which is defined as mass times acceleration is also equal to the rate of change of momentum. The general balance equation for momentum transfer is expressed by... 

In classical mechanics the particle obeys Newton s second law of motion... 

The Navier-Stokes equations have a complex form due to the necessity of treating many of the terms as vector quantities. To understand these equations, however, one need only recognize that they are not mass balances but an elaboration of Newton s second law of motion for a flowing fluid. Recall that Newton s second law states that the vector sum of all the forces acting on an object ( F) will be equal to the product of the object s mass (m) and its acceleration (a), or XF = ma. Now consider the first of the three Navier-Stokes equations listed above, Eq. (10). The object in this case is a differential fluid element, that is, a small cube of fluid with volume dx dy dz and mass p(dx dy dz). The left-hand side of the equation is essentially the product of mass and acceleration for this fluid element (ma), while the right-hand side represents the sum of the forces... 

Navier-Stokes equations A series of differential equations derived from Newton s second law of motion (XF = raa) that describe the relationship between fluid velocity and applied forces in a moving fluid. See Eqs. (10)—(12). 

Newton s law of viscosity and the conservation of momentum are also related to Newton s second law of motion, which is commonly written Fx = max = d(mvx)/dt. For a steady-flow system, this is equivalent to... 

Consider a spherical particle of diameter dp and density pp falling from rest in a stationary fluid of density p and dynamic viscosity p.. The particle will accelerate until it reaches its terminal velocity a,. At any time t, let a be the particle s velocity. Recalling that the drag force acting on a sphere in the Stokes regime is of magnitude iirdppu, application of Newton s second law of motion can be written as... 

Consider the fluid s x-component of motion in a rectangular Cartesian coordinate system. By following the flow, the rate of change of a fluid element s momentum is given by the substantive derivative of the momentum. By Newton s second law of motion, this can be equated to the net force acting on the element. For an element of fluid having volume Sx ySz, the equation of motion can be written for the x-component as follows ... 

As any high school student, knows, Newton s second law of motion says that force is equal to mass times acceleration for a system with constant mass M. 

Application of Newton s second law of motion to an infinitesimal element of an incompressible Newtonian fluid of density p and constant viscosity p, acted upon by gravity as the only body force, leads to the Navier-Stokes equation of motion ... 

A. Phase Space. It will be useful here to anticipate a formulation that we will use in more detail in Section 3, namely, the solution of the classical equations of motion for the atoms of a molecule undergoing a chemical reaction. One starts with a molecule of defined geometry (say, in Cartesian coordinates) and with defined velocities for each of its atoms (expressible as components in the x, y, and z directions). The problem then is to solve Newton s second law of motion, F = mA, for each atom. The force, F, can be calculated as the first derivative of... 

This equation assumes that before the fluid enters the nozzle, its velocity is small, compared to its velocity in the nozzle. The increase in the velocity, or the kinetic energy, of the fluid in the nozzle comes from the pressure of the fluid. This is Bernoulli s equation in action. The energy to accelerate the fluid in the draw-off nozzle comes from the potential energy of the fluid. This is Newton s second law of motion. 

Let s say you are driving your car onto the expressway. To increase the speed of your car from 30 to 65 mph, you press down on the accelerator pedal. Having reached a velocity of 65 MPH, you ease off the accelerator pedal to maintain a constant speed. Why Well, according to Newton s second law of motion, it takes more energy to accelerate your car than to keep it in motion. 

For an ideal rocket with the nozzle exhaust pressure being the ambient pressure, the thrust, recognizing Newton s second law of motion, is ... 

The most important equation of mechanics is Newton s Second Law of Motion, This states that the rate of change of momentum is equal to the force acting on the particle. Thus... 

The concept of work is developed here from an operational point of view. Mechanical work is discussed first, and then the concept is expanded to more-general interactions. Observation shows that there are actions that, when acting on a body cause a change in the velocity of the body. Such actions are called forces. The relation between the force and the change of velocity is expressed by Newton s second law of motion ... 

We can analyze the process by the application of Newton s second law of motion. The net force acting on the boundary, defined as the lower surface of the piston, is F — mg — Fe, where g represents the acceleration due to gravity. Equation (2.9) for this case becomes...
