10 Questions
What are Newton's three laws of motion?
Newton's three laws of motion are: 1) A body at rest tends to stay at rest and a body in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. 2) The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. 3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Who first stated the three laws of motion?
The three laws of motion were first stated by Isaac Newton.
In which book did Isaac Newton first publish his three laws of motion?
Isaac Newton first published his three laws of motion in his book Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy).
What is the relationship between the forces exerted by two bodies on each other?
The forces exerted by two bodies on each other have the same magnitude but opposite directions.
What did Newton's laws of motion lay the foundation for?
Newton's laws of motion laid the foundation for classical mechanics.
According to Newton's laws of motion, a body remains at rest or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force. This is known as:
The law of inertia
According to Newton's laws of motion, when a body is acted upon by a net force, the product of its acceleration and mass is equal to the net force. This is known as:
The law of acceleration
According to Newton's laws of motion, if two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions. This is known as:
The law of action-reaction
