 Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it.  Physics - Page 83by Henry Smith Carhart - 1917 - 478 pagesFull view - About this book

...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... | |

...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 of uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by some external force. ' 2d. Change of motion is proportional to the force impressed, and... | |
