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