What’s Newtonian mechanics?

Isaac Newton developed universal principles to explain and predict the motion of objects in the natural world. His three laws of motion describe the interrelationship between force, mass, and acceleration. The laws explain the concept of inertia, the intrinsic nature of force, and the equal and opposite reaction. Newtonian mechanics provides analytical tools to accurately […]

What’s a Newtonian fluid?

Newtonian fluids maintain a constant viscosity regardless of external stress, while non-Newtonian fluids can change thickness. Examples of Newtonian fluids include water, some oils, and air. Changes in viscosity can occur due to temperature and pressure, but the linear relationship between viscosity and shear stress remains. A Newtonian fluid is any fluid that exhibits a […]
