...(164a-17a7) in his Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica, concluded that 'every body perseveres in its state of rest, or uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by force impressed thereon.' We thus see that Aristotle... | |

...and force, which interacted as follows: 1) Every body (mass) continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, except so far as it may be compelled by force to change that state. 2) Any two bodies attract one another with a force (gravitation) which is proportional to the... | |

...travel. In 1687, Sir Isaac Newton encapsulated this idea in his first law of motion: a body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is acted upon by an external force. In other words, force is the agency by which a body's... | |

Every body continues in its state of rest, or uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far as it may be compelled by force to change that state.
