Leontocebus oedipus
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ South American tamarin with a tufted head
law of nature
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a generalization that describes recurring facts or events in nature; "the laws of thermodynamics"
law of gravitation
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ (physics) the law that states any two bodies attract each other with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them
law of common fate
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a Gestalt principle of organization holding that aspects of perceptual field that move or function in a similar manner will be perceived as a unit
law of Archimedes
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ (hydrostatics) the apparent loss in weight of a body immersed in a fluid is equal to the weight of the displaced fluid
law of conservation of energy
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ the fundamental principle of physics that the total energy of an isolated system is constant despite internal changes
law of equal areas
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a law concerning the speed at which planets travel; a line connecting a planet to the sun will sweep out equal areas in equal times; "Kepler's second law means that a planet's orbital speed changes with its distance from the sun"
law of mass action
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ (chemistry) the law that states the following principle: the rate of a chemical reaction is directly proportional to the molecular concentrations of the reacting substances
law of continuation
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a Gestalt principle of organization holding that there is an innate tendency to perceive a line as continuing its established direction
law of chemical equilibrium
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ (chemistry) the principle that (at chemical equilibrium) in a reversible reaction the ratio of the rate of the forward reaction to the rate of the reverse reaction is a constant for that reaction
law of large numbers
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ (statistics) law stating that a large number of items taken at random from a population will (on the average) have the population statistics
law of conservation of mass
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a fundamental principle of classical physics that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system
law of effect
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ (psychology) the principle that behaviors are selected by their consequences; behavior having good consequences tends to be repeated whereas behavior that leads to bad consequences is not repeated
law of motion
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ one of three basic laws of classical mechanics
law of closure
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a Gestalt principle of organization holding that there is an innate tendency to perceive incomplete objects as complete and to close or fill gaps and to perceive asymmetric stimuli as symmetric
law of conservation of matter
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a fundamental principle of classical physics that matter cannot be created or destroyed in an isolated system
Lawrence of Arabia
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ Welsh soldier who from 1916 to 1918 organized the Arab revolt against the Turks; he later wrote an account of his adventures (1888-1935)
law of areas
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a law concerning the speed at which planets travel; a line connecting a planet to the sun will sweep out equal areas in equal times; "Kepler's second law means that a planet's orbital speed changes with its distance from the sun"
Law of Moses
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ the laws (beginning with the Ten Commandments) that God gave to the Israelites through Moses; it includes many rules of religious observance given in the first five books of the Old Testament (in Judaism these books are called the Torah)
law of averages
— Navneord
– Engelsk
～ a law affirming that in the long run probabilities will determine performance
