... Newton's Laws . ... Three problems intrigued scientists in Newton's time: the laws of motion , the laws of planetary orbits , and the mathematics of continuously varying quantities--a field nowadays known as [differential and integral] calculus. ... Force and Inertia . ... In the absence of forces, ("body") at rest will stay at rest, and a body moving at a constant velocity in a straight line continues doing so indefinitely. ... The force moves an object overcoming external resistance. ...

In the absence of forces, motion in a straight line and constant velocity continues indefinitely. Motion in a circle, however, requires forces to act. ... Since its velocity v equals the distance it moves in one second, one finds . ... The above result suggests that steady motion around a circle, at least for a short time span, can be viewed as the sum of a straight-line motion with fixed velocity v , plus an accelerated motion towards the center of attraction, with the above acceleration, a . ...

The first of the equations defines the position of the spectral orders, m , in the raw image, while the second equation gives, for each order, the dispersion relation in one dimension. ... where the coefficients are computed using least squares techniques on a grid , i.e. sample number and line number of points located within the spectral orders of the image. These points in the grid are found automatically by an order--following algorithm, normally using the FLAT or STD image. ...

Astronotes Armagh Planetarium's Stellar Blog! ... Universe . ... About four centuries ago, a tiny white dwarf star about the same diameter as Earth, but with a mass equivalent to the Sun, swung in a tight orbit about some larger star. The white dwarfтАЩs intense gravity tore material from its more massive companion. ... The quantity of mass in the universe is constant since the universe started its last self-replication, since its last singularity, its last pre-big bang re-birth conception. ...

In this section, we describe several special requirements which are often needed in an FGS Phase II observing proposal. ... The ORIENT special requirement is useful for orienting HST so that astrometric reference stars fall within the FGS FOV or for aligning a binary star?s position angle relative to an FGS axis. ... POS TARG: . ...

... In this section, we develop a physical model of the secondary as a disk that is centrifugally supported in the radial direction and hydrostatically supported in the vertical direction. We assume that the disk is vertically isothermal and well mixed. ... where is the mean molecular mass of the gas, is the orbital period at the outer edge of the disk in years, and all of the mass of the secondary has been assumed to be concentrated near its center, so the Keplerian approximation is valid. ...

... There has been a heated public discussion in the past few years about whether our ninth planet is really deserving of the name. Since Pluto orbits a star, and is much less luminous, it certainly satisfies the definition we have above. The problem is actually not with Pluto, but with a very large number of other bodies in our Solar System which also satisfy this definition, but which are not called planets. Perhaps the most notable of these is Ceres, the largest asteroid. ... Planet . ...
