  2. Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_laws_of_motion

    Newton's second law, in modern form, states that the time derivative of the momentum is the force: =. If the mass m {\displaystyle m} does not change with time, then the derivative acts only upon the velocity, and so the force equals the product of the mass and the time derivative of the velocity, which is the acceleration: [ 22 ] F = m d v d t ...

  3. Rotating reference frame - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rotating_reference_frame

    This equation has exactly the form of Newton's second law, except that in addition to F, the sum of all forces identified in the inertial frame, there is an extra term on the right...This means we can continue to use Newton's second law in the noninertial frame provided we agree that in the noninertial frame we must add an extra force-like term ...

  4. Net force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_force

    The net force is the combined effect of all the forces on the object's acceleration, as described by Newton's second law of motion. When the net force is applied at a specific point on an object, the associated torque can be calculated.

  5. Rigid body dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_body_dynamics

    The dynamics of a rigid body system is described by the laws of kinematics and by the application of Newton's second law or their derivative form, Lagrangian mechanics. The solution of these equations of motion provides a description of the position, the motion and the acceleration of the individual components of the system, and overall the ...

  6. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Newton's second law states that the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the resultant force acting on the body and is in the same direction. Mathematically, F=ma (force = mass x acceleration). Newton's third law states that all forces occur in pairs, and these two forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Newton's_Law_of_Motion...

    English: In this image, Newton's Laws of Motion are shown throughout common occurrences of a soccer match. In the first law, the ball is influenced by the wind, an unbalanced force, causing it to roll. In the second law, the ball is being kicked causing its acceleration to be dependent on the mass of the soccer ball and the net force of the kick.

  8. Parallelogram of force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallelogram_of_force

    By Newton's second law, this vector is also a measure of the force which would produce that velocity, thus the two forces are equivalent to a single force. [2] Using a parallelogram to add the forces acting on a particle on a smooth slope.

  9. Equations of motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equations_of_motion

    There are two main descriptions of motion: dynamics and kinematics.Dynamics is general, since the momenta, forces and energy of the particles are taken into account. In this instance, sometimes the term dynamics refers to the differential equations that the system satisfies (e.g., Newton's second law or Euler–Lagrange equations), and sometimes to the solutions to those equations.
