...experiment illuminates a peculiarity of Isaac Newton's formulation of his first two laws of motion: 1 . Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by impressed forces. Figure 1.3 2. Change of motion is proportional to the impressed... | |

...planets, the precision of the equinoxes, and the cause of the tides. There are three laws of motion, i. 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 acting upon it. 2. The change of motion (or 'acceleration')... | |

...the basis for developing a practical definition of the magnitude of force. Newton's First Law states: 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 acting on it. This law leads us to the definition of... | |

...mechanics. 2.1 Newton's laws The basis of Newtonian mechanics rests on the following laws: (1) A body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled by an external force, to change that state. (2) The change of motion is proportional... | |

...with caution. The concept of 'force' 2 It is convenient to start with Newton whose First Law reads: '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'. This formulation arose from consideration... | |
