Study Notes
Newton's Laws of Motion
- A body remains at rest or continues to move with constant velocity unless acted upon by a net external force, according to Newton's first law of motion.
- The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass, as stated by Newton's second law of motion (F = ma).
- The forces exerted by two bodies on each other are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, known as the law of action and reaction, according to Newton's third law of motion.
- Isaac Newton first presented the three laws of motion in his publication "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" in 1687.
- Newton's laws of motion are limited to describing the motion of objects at low speeds, in the absence of strong gravitational fields, and do not account for relativistic effects or quantum mechanics.
