What is Newton's first law of motion?

Remain at rest or continue moving at a constant velocity unless an unbalanced external force acts on it.

100

When was the Newton's laws of motion were made?

1687

What is inertia?

A property of matter by which it continues in its existing state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line

100

Who made the 3 laws of motion?

Isaac Newton

Ben and Geri play tug-of-war with a long rope. At one point Ben is winning and accelerating backwards. At this moment, the magnitude of the tension force on Ben is

Equal in magnitude to the tension force on Geri.

200

What is Newton's 2nd law of motion?

A relationship often summarized as F=ma (Force equals mass times acceleration).

200

How did Isaac Newton think of the 3 laws of motion?

He realized that the same force that makes an apple fall to Earth also keeps the Moon in orbit.

200

How does Newton's 3 laws of motion help in your daily life?

A body at rest will remain at rest, and a body in motion will remain in motion unless it is acted upon by an external force.

When was the three laws of motion made?

1687

Martyn catches a cricket ball. Consider the action force to be the contact of the ball against Martyn’s glove. What is the reaction to this force?

The force the glove exerts on the ball

300

What is Newton's 3rd law of motion?

Newton's Third Law of Motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

300

Where was the 3 laws of motion made.

Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica

As a ball falls, the action force is the gravitational pull of the Earth’s mass on the ball. What is the reaction to this force?

The gravitational pull of the ball on the Earth

300

At the instant that the unfortunate mosquito splatters against the windscreen of the moving car, how does the deceleration of the car compare to the deceleration of the mosquito?

The car experiences a smaller deceleration

According to Newton’s third law, if you push gently on something, it will push

Gently on you.
