Isaac Newtons laws of motion are three fundamental laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. The three laws are:
-
Newtons First Law of Motion (Law of Inertia): An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue in motion at a constant velocity in a straight line, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
-
Newtons Second Law of Motion (Law of Force): The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In other words, the greater the force applied to an object, the greater its acceleration, and the greater its mass, the smaller its acceleration.
-
Newtons Third Law of Motion (Law of Action and Reaction): For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When two objects interact, they apply forces to each other that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
These laws are the foundation of classical mechanics and are still used today to describe the motion of objects in our everyday lives, as well as in more complex systems such as spacecraft and satellites.
