What is Newton’s first law of motion? (week 16)
Newton’s first law of motion states that an object at rest tends to remain at rest and an object in motion tends to continue moving in a straight line at constant speed unless an outside force acts upon it.
What is Newton’s second law of motion? (week 17)
Newton’s second law of motion states that force equals mass times acceleration.
F = ma
What is Newton’s third law of motion? (week 18)
Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
What is the first law of thermodynamics? (week 19)
The first law of thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed.
What is the second law of thermodynamics? (week 20)
Often called the law of entropy, the second law of thermodynamics explains why heat flows from an area of higher temperature to an area of lower temperature.
What is the third law of thermodynamics? (week 21)
The third law of thermodynamics explains that it is impossible to reach the state of absolute zero temperature.
