| Every body persists in its state of being at rest or of moving uniformly straight forward, except insofar as it is compelled to change its state by force impressed. | |
| In any right triangle, the area of the square whose side is the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the areas of the squares whose sides are the two legs. | |
| No process is possible in which the sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work. | |
| Any object, wholly or partially immersed in a fluid, is buoyed up by a force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object. | |
| If a quadrilateral is inscribable in a circle then the product of the measures of its diagonals is equal to the sum of the products of the measures of the pairs of opposite sides. | |
| The entropy of a perfect crystal at absolute zero is exactly equal to zero. | |
| When work is produced by the agency of heat, a quantity of heat is consumed which is proportional to the work done; and conversely. | |
| An induced electromotive force (emf) always gives rise to a current whose magnetic field opposes the original change in magnetic flux. | |
| In a race, the quickest runner can never overtake the slowest, since the pursuer must first reach the point whence the pursued started, so that the slower must always hold a lead. | |
| The induced electromotive force (EMF) in any closed circuit is equal to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit. | |
| Every square matrix [ over a commutative ring ] satisfies its own characteristic equation. | |
| If a system at equilibrium experiences a change in concentration, temperature, volume, or partial pressure, then the equilibrium shifts to counteract the imposed change. | |
