The Laws of Motion, formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, are fundamental principles governing the motion of objects in classical mechanics.
1. Newton’s First Law (Law of Inertia):
An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by an external force.
2. Newton’s Second Law:
The force acting on an object is equal to the mass of that object multiplied by its acceleration (F = ma).
3. Newton’s Third Law:
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction.
These laws form the basis for understanding and predicting the motion of objects under the influence of external forces.
