    Study Notes

    Newton's First Law of Motion

    • Describes the concept of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion
    • States that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue to move with a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force
    • Introduced by Sir Isaac Newton in 1666 at the age of 23

    Kepler's Laws and Planetary Motion

    • Newton's laws, together with Kepler's Laws, explain that planets move in elliptical orbits around the Sun
