THE APPLICABILITY OF THE LAWS OF MOTION WITHIN A RELATIVISTIC DOMAIN.

The links below are to the Sections of the paper on the applicability of both Sir Isaac Newton's three laws of general motion, and Johannes Kepler's three laws of planetary motion within the Relativistic Domains D0 and D1.

Introduction - The first section contains a title page, a brief abstract, and the main introduction.

Newton's Three Laws - The second Section provides a detailed analysis of Newton's three general laws of motion within a relativistic environment, the pseudo-Euclidean Space-Time D0. Only the first law is found to fully applicable without change, the second and third requiring both a re-statement, and modifications to their mathematical representation. A brief review of their consolidation is also presented as is the effect on their applicability within the gravitational space-time D1.

Kepler's Three Laws - The next Section provides a detailed analysis of the applicability of Kepler's three laws of planetary motion within the Gravitational Space-Time D1. All three laws are found to be largely applicable but with minor modication to their mathematical representation.

Summary and Conclusions - The fourth Section provides a tabular summary of the mathematical representations, original and relativistic, of both sets of motion laws, with some concluding remarks.
