You’ve probably heard of the great scientist, physicist and mathematician, Sir Isaac Newton.
His book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), published in 1687, laid the foundations of physics, especially classical mechanics, including the laws of motion and universal gravitation that has shaped the study of science and physics. And it all started with an🍎 !
Newton’s First Law of Motion
Newton’s first law of motion was also known as the Law of Inertia. It stated that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
In simpler words, an object that is moving will keep moving until something stops it and and an object that is not moving will not move until something moves it.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
The second law of motion, also known as the law of force and acceleration, states that that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon the mass of the object and net force acting upon the object. In simpler words, pushing or pulling an object produces acceleration, a change in the speed of motion. Remember: Force = Mass x Acceleration
Newton’s Third Law of Motion
The third law of motion states that, for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
