Newton's Laws of Motion
- Physical bodies remain at rest or continue a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an outside force
- Rate of change in momentum is proportional to the producing resultant force and occurs in the direction of that force
- To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
- The Laws of Thermodynamics:
- Two thermodynamic systems individually in thermal equilibrium with a third will be in thermal equilibrium with each other
- The change in energy of a closed thermodynamic system = the sum of heat energy supplied to the system + work done on the system
- Total entropy of isolated thermodynamic systems increases over time to a maximum value
- No system can reach absolute zero without an infinite number of processes
