Why is newtonian mechanics so called ?
Answers
Classical mechanics describes the motion of macroscopic objects, from projectiles to parts of machinery, and astronomical objects, such as spacecraft, planets, stars and galaxies.
Classical mechanics describes the motion of macroscopic objects, from projectiles to parts of machinery, and astronomical objects, such as spacecraft, planets, stars and galaxies.If the present state of an object is known it is possible to predict by the laws of classical mechanics how it will move in the future (determinism) and how it has moved in the past (reversibility).
Classical mechanics is often called Newtonian mechanics because nearly the entire study builds on the work of Isaac Newton. ... Newton's Second Law of Motion: The net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object times its acceleration.
