The Laws of Motion

The Laws of Motion, formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, describe how objects move and interact. The first law states that an object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues in a straight line unless acted upon by a force. The second law explains that the acceleration of an object depends on the force applied and its mass (F=ma). The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, meaning forces always occur in pairs. Together, these laws provide a framework for understanding movement and force in everyday life.
