| 1. | In Newtonian mechanics, the equations of motion are given by Newton's laws.
|
| 2. | By contrast, in Newtonian mechanics, gravity is assumed to be a force.
|
| 3. | In Newtonian mechanics, gravity provides the centripetal force responsible for astronomical orbits.
|
| 4. | The above equations are valid for both Newtonian mechanics and special relativity.
|
| 5. | No new physics is introduced in Lagrangian mechanics compared to Newtonian mechanics.
|
| 6. | The equations of Newtonian mechanics can exhibit sensitive dependence on initial conditions.
|
| 7. | Newtonian mechanics defines power as torque multiplied by the rotational speed.
|
| 8. | In the special theory of relativity Newtonian mechanics is modified into relativistic mechanics.
|
| 9. | For a general discussion including mass in Newtonian mechanics, see the article on mass.
|
| 10. | Equipartition was used above to derive the classical ideal gas law from Newtonian mechanics.
