PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Newton's 1st Law Of Motion
When viewed in an inertial reference frame, an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force
Newton's 2nd Law Of Motion
The vector sum of the external forces (F) on an object is equal to the mass (m) of that object multiplied by the acceleration vector (a) of the object, so F=ma, force equals mass acceleration
Newton's 3rd Law Of Motion
When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body
Extra Information:
The three laws were first compiled by Isaac Newton in his Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, first published in 1687. Newton used them to explain and investigate the motion of many physical objects and systems. For example, in the third volume of the text, Newton showed that these laws if motion, combined with his law of universal gravitation, explained Kepler's laws of planetary motion.
