Newtonian operators
14 operators in the newtonian category of the live registry. Each is a named formula you can compose inside a state contract or call directly through POST /api/zeq/compute. KO42 is always on; add up to three more per call (total ≤ 4), per the 7-step protocol.
| Operator | Description | Equation |
|---|---|---|
NM18 | Newton's first law: with zero net force a body's velocity stays constant. | ∑F⃗ = 0 ⇒ v⃗ = const |
NM19 | Newton's second law relating net force to mass times acceleration, F = ma. | F⃗ = m⃗a |
NM20 | Newton's third law: the forces two bodies exert on each other are equal and opposite. | F₁₂ = -F₂₁ |
NM21 | Newton's law of universal gravitation between two point masses. | F = Gm₁m₂/r² |
NM22 | Mechanical work done by a force acting over a displacement, W = F·d. | W = ∫F⃗·d⃗s |
NM225 | Generalized force summation over 225 bodies, extending Newton's laws to large many-body systems. | F_{225} = \sum_{i=1}^{225} m_i a_i |
NM23 | Translational kinetic energy of a moving mass, KE = ½mv². | K = ½mv² |
NM24 | Gravitational potential energy near a planetary surface, PE = mgh. | U_g = mgh |
NM25 | Conservation of mechanical energy: the sum of kinetic and potential energy is constant. | K_i + U_i = K_f + U_f |
NM26 | Linear momentum defined as mass times velocity, p = mv. | p⃗ = m⃗v |
NM27 | Conservation of total linear momentum in an isolated system. | Δp⃗_total = 0 |
NM28 | Angular momentum as the cross product of position and linear momentum, L = r × p. | L⃗ = r⃗ × p⃗ |
NM29 | Torque as the cross product of position and applied force, τ = r × F. | τ⃗ = r⃗ × F⃗ |
NM30 | Hooke's-law restoring force and the resulting simple-harmonic motion. | F⃗ = -k⃗x |
