What descriptions characterizes the Newtonian understanding of the mechanics of the solar system?
The natural motion of the planets is motion in a straight line. They are prevented from straight line motion by the gravitational force of the Sun.
When and where do newton's laws of motion and quantum mechanics overlaping?
This is the question that physicists all around the world are trying to answer. When they come up with one I'll be sure to get back to you. This area is primarily the work of string theorists.AnswerI think the previous answerer misread the question. If the question had been "When and where do general relativity and quantum mechanics overlap?" then this answer would have been fine. But there is no conflict between Newton's Laws and quantum mechanics. More precisely: If you take quantum mechanics and let Planck's constant tend to 0, you get Newtonian physics. (Or special relativity - but if you then let the speed of light tend to infinity you get Newtonian physics.) In other words, classical physics is a special case of quantum physics. If you avoid doing experiments with very small or very fast things, Newton's laws will hold.
Do the laws of motion apply to the speed of light and movement in atoms?
In fact, the laws of motion do apply; you just have to be careful which set of laws you use. Newtonian laws of motion do not apply to light or to the movement of atoms, but relativity theory applies to light, and quantum mechanics applies to movements at the atomic and sub-atomic levels.
How does one of Newton's Laws of Motion explain what seems like a contradiction?
Please explain what apparent contradiction you are talking about.
What maintains the speed of earth as it moves in its orbirt around the sun?
Inertia; the laws of motion and gravity (if you are talking Newtonian classical mechanics) the deformation of space due to mass (if you adhere to Einstein's interpretation)
What is pre-newtonian science?
Newtonian physics, also called classical or pre-relativistic physics refer to the physics after Aristotelian physics and before the 1920s when the theory of relativity was formed. They distinctly differ from Aristotelian physics in that they cover the physics of motion, scientific method, describe contact and non-contact forces such as magnetism
What is a newtonian concern?
motion
What was Newtonian concern?
Motion
What are the subdivisions of physics and its description?
Mainly:Mechanics (Newtonian & relativistic): - mater - time - space;Molecular physics & thermodynamics: - physics of thermal movement;Electromagnetism: - physics of E,H - field;Wave motion: - physics of sound, light, ..., solitons (tsunami);Quantum physics: physics of micro-world;High energy physics.
If an objects position does not change relative to a reference point is it in motion relative to that reference point?
If we're in the realm of newtonian physics I would say that it couldn't be in motion relative to a reference point, of course quantum physics and seems to prove everything we believe wrong.
What are the two main division of physics?
In study: Classic physics - The study of motion, forces, electricity and heat. This is sometimes called Newtonian physics. Modern physics - The study of quantum mechanics, relativity (general and special) subatomic particles and astrological forces/events. (the last not to be confused with astrology)tama ito promize

Examples of classical physics?
Examples of classical physics include Newton's laws of motion, the principles of classical mechanics, and the study of electromagnetism by Maxwell's equations. These concepts describe the motion of objects under the influence of forces and the behavior of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields.
What is the physics behind a truss bridge?
A truss bridge uses trusses as the load bearing element of the bridge. Using statics physics, a truss bridge applies Newtonian motion to ensure that the load bearing elements do not go out of a tension/compression equilibrium.
What is the study of forces of air on a body in motion?
Dynamics is the study of both motion and forces together. Newton defined the fundamental laws which govern dynamics in physics in his second law of motion.
Electrons keep moving around the nucleus Who or what supplies energy for their eternal movement?
Objects in motion tend to remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. That the electrons stay in motion does not require energy under Newtonian physics, as the change in direction can be explained by the magnetic force exerted upon the electron by the proton. An answer from someone with a background in quantum physics might be different, but this one works for me.
How did albert Einstein change the 20 th century in science?
Before Einstein there was Newtonian physics which did not consider the speed of light and its effect on a body in motion and Einstein with his theory of relativity defined the effect of speed of a body on its weight and dimensions which brought drastic changes in atomic and quantum physics.
