The Census Bureau defined the poverty level for a single individual as $11,888 in 2013. Many government assistance programs use different poverty measures. Starting in 2005, the American Community Survey is used here to estimate poverty rates.
I NTRODUCTION ï¢ Isaac Newton developed the First Law of Motion to demonstrate the properties of inertia. In doing so, Newton helped people understand movement and rest. ï¢ To illustrate this concept, our team demonstrated Newtonâs First Law of Motion for our EMPACTS project.
Newton's First Law of Motion states that objects continue to move in a state of constant velocity unless acted upon by an external net force or resultant force. This law is an extension of Galileo's insight that constant velocity was associated with a lack of net force (see a more detailed description of this below).
