5 Questions
What are Newton's laws of motion?
Three basic laws of classical mechanics that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it.
How can Newton's first law of motion be paraphrased?
A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force.
When do two bodies exert forces on each other according to Newton's laws of motion?
If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions.
What is the relationship between a body's acceleration, mass, and net force according to Newton's second law of motion?
The body's acceleration multiplied by its mass is equal to the net force.
Who first stated the three laws of motion and in which publication were they originally published?
Isaac Newton first stated the three laws of motion in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), originally published in 1687.
