newtons laws

Input interpretation :

Newton s laws
Newton s laws:

Newton s first law Newton s second law Newton s third law strong form of Newton s third law Newton s law of universal gravitation
Descriptions:

A body at rest remains at rest and a body in uniform motion remains in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force.
Alternate description:

There exists a set of inertial reference frames relative to which all particles with no net force acting on them will move without change in their velocity. A body persists in a state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force.

Alternate names:

Limitations :

limitations Newton s first law Agrees well with experiments for classical mechanics, but may require more sophisticated formulations such as special relativity, general relativity, or relativistic quantum mechanics for small scales, large speeds, or strong gravitational fields.

Agrees well with experiments for classical mechanics, but may require more sophisticated formulations such as special relativity, general relativity, or relativistic quantum mechanics for small scales, large speeds, or strong gravitational fields. Valid only in the nonrelativistic limit (speeds much less than the speed of light and small gravitational fields).

Newton s third law

strong form of Newton s third law

Newton s law of universal gravitation

Current evidence :

Newton s law of universal gravitation

Agrees with experimental measurements in classical mechanics. Disagrees with high-precision measurements of the precession of the perhelion of planets' orbits, and in particular Mercury. For Mercury, observations differ by 43 arc sec/century from the Newtonian model but agree with the prediction of general relativity. Disagrees with the deflection of light by gravity by a factor of two; observed deflection agrees with the prediction of general relativity.
