Q

Newton’s First Law of motion

A

Law of Inertia: An object will not change its motion unless an opposing force acts on it.

29
Q

Newton’s Second Law of motion

A

Law of cause and effect: Acceleration (gaining speed) happens when a force acts on a mass.

30
Q

Newton’s Third Law of motion

A

The law of action-reaction: When objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposing direction.
