What is Sir Isaac Newtons law of motion?
Sir Isaac Newton is responsible for many scientific breakthroughs, from the development of calculus to the laws governing the motion of bodies. Below is a brief explanation of perhaps his most famous achievement.The First Law”Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it.” This is basically the definition of inertia. It simply states that absent some force, be it gravity or another force, an object will maintain its current state. In other words, whether the object’s velocity is zero or the speed of sound, without an outside force acting upon it, the object will maintain that velocity.The Second Law”Force is equal to the change in momentum per change in time. For a constant mass, force equals mass times acceleration.” This second law goes on to explain the way in which the principals set forth in the first law work. Newton included a formula for determining the force that “compels” t
