Newton’s Laws of Motion

Newton’s Laws of Motion describe how forces influence the movement of objects. These laws form the foundation of classical physics and help us understand everything from falling apples to space travel.

  • First Law (Law of Inertia): Objects stay at rest or move at constant speed unless acted upon by a force.
  • Second Law: Force equals mass times acceleration — it explains how motion changes when forces are applied.
  • Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
