Newton's Laws of Motion are fundamental principles in physics that describe how objects move and interact. They are three laws: the law of inertia, the law of force and acceleration, and the law of action and reaction.
Here's a breakdown of each law:Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia):An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This law states that an object will continue to move or remain at rest unless a force acts upon it.
Newton's Second Law (Law of Force and Acceleration):The force acting on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration (F = ma). This law explains that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
Newton's Third Law (Law of Action and Reaction):For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law states that when one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.
These three laws are essential for understanding and describing the motion of objects in a variety of situations, from everyday events to the motion of planets.
