Here are some laws of physics: Law of universal gravitation: Describes the gravitational force between two objects with masses, m1 and m2. Newton's laws of motion: The first law states that an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. The second law states that the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. The third law states that when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction. Archimedes principle: States that the buoyant force equals the weight of the fluid displaced by a submerged... Show more
