...given by Newton in the form of Mechanical Axioms, or laws of motion. They are the following: LAW I. — Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless acted upon by some external force. Matter in its unorganized state is inanimate or inert. It can not... | |

...There are three principles of motion, known as Newton's Laws. Can you tell me the first ? II. Frank. "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless acted upon by some externals force." This, I suppose, means that a body at rest can not put itself... | |

...to other " elements " which we call its chemical properties. The first law of motion is, that a body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless operated upon from without. The second law is that the change of motion is proportional to the force... | |

...simply a more precise definition of Inertia. A body will remain either in a state of rest, or in a state of uniform motion in a straight line, unless compelled to change that state by some external force. The next consideration that naturally occurs is : How does this change of state... | |

...the laws are exemplified, and phenomena begin to fall out. The first law of motion is, that a body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless operated upon from without. The second law is, that the change of motion is proportioned to the force... | |

Every body continues in its state of rest or...compelled to change that state by an external force. (2.) Every motion or change of motion is in the direction of the force impressed and is proportionate... | |
