[edit] Laws of Motion:

• 1. Inertia: If a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain so until acted on by a force.
• 2. The rate of change of momentum is directly proportional to the force, taking place in the direction of the force.
• 3. The actions of two bodies on each othere are alwayas equal and opposite ("For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction)

[edit] Laws of Thermodynamics

• 1. Conservation of energy (the cahnge in the internal energy of a system is equal to the sum of the heat added to the system and the work done by it.)
• 2. Heat always flows from a higher temperature to a lower (law that it is impossible for any self-acting machine, without any other agent, totransfer heat to another body at a higher temperature)
• 3. Entropy (measure of disorder of molecules and atoms) of disordered solids reaches zero at absolute zero, i.e., there will be no disorder at all.
