Newtonian Physics

Newtonian physics, formulated by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century, describes the motion of objects and the forces acting on them. It is based on three fundamental laws: an object at rest stays at rest, an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a force; the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration; and for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. This framework explains everyday phenomena, such as why a ball rolls or how planets orbit the sun, and laid the groundwork for classical mechanics, serving as a foundation for later scientific developments.
