...the Physical World, first published in the 1920s, that the law, in effect, says that "every particle continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, except insofar as it doesn't." This is a somewhat facetious commentary on the logical circularity of Newton's...

...relations among them. Certainly, the axioms were neither self-evident truths nor mutually independent: 1 . Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a right (ie, straight) line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it....

...Newton's first law applied to airplanes Glenn Research Center Airspeed Thrust "Every object persists in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it." When flying at a constant altitude:...

...in the nucleus of an atom consisting of three quarks. Newton's first law of motion. Law that states, "Every body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless required to change that state due to forces acting on it." Newton's second law of motion. Law...

...(1956). Relativistic Mechanics Newtonian mechanics rests on three axioms of motion: I. Every particle continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless it is acted upon by some exterior force. II. The rate of change of momentum of a particle is...

...for universal dispositions of natural processes (eg, a body upon which no external force is exerted continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line) without being compelled to claim that they are violated "when behaviour disposed toward them does not...

...motion that govern all material bodies and which are also relevant to flight: • A body will continue in its state of rest, or uniform motion in a straight line, unless acted on by an external force. Put another way, an object at rest (or in motion) will remain...

...primary feature of these laws. Newton stated, as his first law of motion: Every body will continue in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled by some external force to act otherwise. Children illustrate this fundamental law...

...the amount of matter will have exactly twice the amount of inertia. 8. A piece of matter will move in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line, as defined by Newton, until it collides with another piece of matter. At that time both pieces of matter...

...Eddington once made the unflattering remark that the first law essentially says that "every particle continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line except insofar as it doesn't." However, although the three laws might seem somewhat light on content at first...
