Newton's Law of Motion

The Newton's Law of Motion refers to three fundamental laws formulated by Sir Isaac Newton that describe the motion of objects. These laws provide the foundation for classical mechanics.

1. Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia): According to this law, an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.

Sample Sentence: The car came to a stop as soon as the driver released the gas pedal, demonstrating Newton's first law of motion.

2. Newton's Second Law (Law of Acceleration): This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

Sample Sentence: The force applied to the ball determined how quickly it accelerated, as stated in Newton's second law of motion.

3. Newton's Third Law (Law of Action and Reaction): According to this law, 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.

Sample Sentence: The swimmer pushes against the water, and the water pushes back, following Newton's third law of motion.
