Newton's Laws of Motion
So what are they anyway?
Newton's Laws
This all started way back when in the 1700's, when Sir Isaac Newton continued Galileo work. Newton saw Galileo's work, and agreed with what he was trying to prove. So, Newton generated the three laws of motion.
Newtons Laws all work together
All of Newton's laws work together to describe motion. There is no motion without all of Newton's laws!
Newton's Laws
Newton's 1st law
Newton' 1st law is the law of inertia. It states that an object that is moving will keep moving unless interrupted by another force. The same is with objects that are standing still. In a place where no other motion exists, objects that are moving will move forever!
Newton's 2nd law
Newton's 2nd law is the law of acceleration. It states that the more mass an object has, the harder it is to accelerate that object. It also states that an object with less mass will be easier to accelerate.
Newton's 3rd law
Newton's final law of motion is about action reaction forces. It stated that for every action the is an equal and opposite reaction. A good example of this is when you push a a table or wall; maybe even the floor!
