Why object in the space will continue moving foever if the object is in dynamic equilibrium?
Are you asking which of Newton's Laws implies this, or why Newton's Laws are true?THP said:Why object in the space will continue moving foever if the object is in dynamic equilibrium?
Scientific laws are ultimately based on experiment. Experiment agrees that Newton's first law holds good in all the situations where we have tested it.THP said:I want to know why Newton's laws are true
If you are moving and the object is at rest, it's an identical situation, and you certainly wouldn't expect space object to start moving out of the blue for no reason.THP said:Why object in the space will continue moving forever if the object is in dynamic equilibrium?
I don't think you can prove the correctness of Newton's law this way. You just shift the question.David Lewis said:If you are moving and the object is at rest, it's an identical situation, and you certainly wouldn't expect space object to start moving out of the blue for no reason.
Objects in space will continue moving forever due to the concept of inertia. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. In the vacuum of space, there is no friction or air resistance to slow down an object's motion, so it will continue moving at a constant speed indefinitely.
As mentioned before, in the vacuum of space, there is no force to slow down an object's motion. Therefore, without any external force acting on it, an object in space will continue moving at a constant speed forever.
The main difference between an object in space and an object on Earth in terms of motion is the presence of gravity. On Earth, objects experience the force of gravity, which can slow down or change their motion. In space, however, the absence of gravity allows objects to maintain their motion indefinitely.
Yes, an object in space can change its direction of motion, but only if an external force is applied to it. This is because of Newton's first law of motion, which states that an object will remain in its state of motion unless acted upon by an external force.
The main factors that can affect an object's motion in space are gravity, external forces, and collisions with other objects. Gravity can alter an object's trajectory or cause it to orbit around a larger object. External forces, such as the thrust from a rocket, can change an object's speed and direction. Collisions with other objects can also alter an object's motion or cause it to break apart.
