Newton's Law

Description:

Newton's Law refers to a set of three fundamental principles formulated by Sir Isaac Newton that describe the motion of objects in the field of classical mechanics. These laws provide a foundation for understanding the forces acting on objects, their interactions, and how they respond to these forces.

Senses and Usages:

Sense 1: Newton's First Law of Motion

Noun

Definition: Newton's First Law of Motion, also known as the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving with a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force.

Example Sentence: According to Newton's First Law of Motion, a ball will keep rolling forever if there is no friction to stop it.

Sense 2: Newton's Second Law of Motion

Noun

Definition: Newton's Second Law of Motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied to it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Example Sentence: By applying Newton's Second Law of Motion, we can calculate the force required to accelerate the car to a certain speed.

Sense 3: Newton's Third Law of Motion

Noun

Definition: Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When one object exerts a force on another, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first object.

Example Sentence: Newton's Third Law of Motion explains why rockets can propel themselves forward by expelling gas in the opposite direction.
