inertia inertia
inertia , in physics, the resistance of a body to any alteration in its state of motion , i.e., the resistance of a body at rest to being set in motion or of a body in motion to any change of speed or change in direction of motion. Inertia is a property common to all matter. This property was first... Read more
motion motion
motion the change of position of one body with respect to another. The rate of change is the speed of the body. If the direction of motion is also given, then the velocity of the body is determined; velocity is a vector quantity, having both magnitude and direction, while speed is a scalar... Read more
Newtons laws of motion Newtons laws of motion
Newton's laws of motion Three laws published in 1687 by I.Newton concerning the motion of bodies:1.A body continues in a state of uniform rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force.2.The acceleration produced when a force acts is directly proportional to the force and takes place in the...

celestial mechanics celestial mechanics
celestial mechanics the study of the motions of astronomical bodies as they move under the influence of their mutual gravitation . Celestial mechanics analyzes the orbital motions of planets, dwarf planets, comets, asteroids, and natural and artificial satellites within the solar system as well as... Read more
Perpetual motion Perpetual motion
perpetual motion the motion of a hypothetical machine which, once activated, would run forever unless subject to an external force or to wear; although impossible according to the first and second laws of thermodynamics, the development of such a mechanism has been attempted by many inventors. The... Read more
Newtons laws of motion Newtons laws of motion
LAWS OF MOTION CONCEPT In all the universe, there are few ideas more fundamental than those expressed in the three laws of motion. Together these explain why it is relatively difficult to start moving, and then to stop moving; how much force is needed to start or stop in a... Read more
relativity relativity
relativity physical theory, introduced by Albert Einstein, that discards the concept of absolute motion and instead treats only relative motion between two systems or frames of reference. One consequence of the theory is that space and time are no longer viewed as separate, independent entities but... Read more
perpetual-motion machine perpetual-motion machine
perpetual-motion machine device that would be able to operate continuously and supply useful work, in violation of the laws of thermodynamics . A machine that would produce more energy in the form of work than is supplied to it in the form of heat would violate the first law of... Read more

Summary Judgment Summary Judgment
SUMMARY JUDGMENT A procedural device used during civil litigation to promptly and expeditiously dispose of a case without a trial. It is used when there is no dispute as to the material facts of the case and a party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Any party may move for summary... Read more
