General physics
Newton's first law of motion
Physics; General physics
A body continues in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by an external (unbalanced) force.
Newton's law of gravitation
Physics; General physics
The gravitational force of attraction acting between any two particles is directly proportional to the product of their masses, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. ...
Newton's second law of motion
Physics; General physics
The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force applied.
Newton's third law of motion
Physics; General physics
To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Ohm's law
Physics; General physics
The current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference across the ends of the conductor.
Pascal's law
Physics; General physics
The pressure exerted on a liquid is transmitted equally in all directions.
Snell's law
Physics; General physics
The ratio of sin i to sin r is a constant and is equal to the refractive index of the second medium with respect to the first.
