Newton's Laws

Newton's Laws of Motion

1. Unless a resultant force acts on an object it will continue to move at a constant velocity or remain at rest.

"It won't move unless you give it a push"

2. The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the force acting upon it.

" The bigger it is, or the faster you want it to go, the harder you have to push it"


3. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

"If I push it, it will push me back"
