# NEWTON'S Laws of Motion In the 1600s, Sir Isaac Newton was studying the earth and trying to explain why things happen. He provided explanations for gravity, motion, light, and color. He has identified three laws of motion for why things move the way they do. 1. A body continues to be at rest or in motion unless an external force is applied to it. 2. The greater the mass of a body, the greater the force needed to accelerate it. 3. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. ## Choose one of the laws of motion. Explain how it might apply to flight. ## When a rocket's engine ignites, what equal and opposite forces are in action?
