Equations of motion system). Particle does not exert a torque on itself. Some examples of Newton's law include describing the motion of a simple pendulum, and a damped, sinusoidally driven harmonic oscillator, For describing the motion of masses due to gravity, Newton's law of gravity can be combined with Newton's second law. For two examples, a ball of mass thrown in the air, in air currents (such as wind) described by a vector field of resistive forces , where is the gravitational constant, the mass of the Earth, and is the acceleration of the projectile due to the air currents at position and
Gravity current intrusion Gravity current intrusion The term gravity current intrusion denotes the fluid mechanics phenomenon within which a fluid intrudes with a predominantly horizontal motion into a separate stratified fluid, typically along a plane of neutral buoyancy. This behaviour distinguishes the difference between gravity current intrusions and gravity currents, as intrusions are not restrained by a well-defined boundary surface. As with gravity currents, intrusion flow is driven within a gravity field by density differences typically small enough to allow for the Boussinesq approximation. The driving density difference between fluids that produces intrusion motion could simply be due to chemical composition. However variations
