• A brief introduction to Sir Isaac Newton.
• He was an English mathematician, physicist, astronomer, theologian, and author.
• He is widely recognized as one of the most influential scientists of all time and as a key figure in the scientific revolution.
• His book, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (“Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy”), laid the groundwork for classical mechanics.

What are Newton’s Laws of Motion?

• Newton’s Laws of Motion are three fundamental principles of physics.
• They describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it.
• These laws are the foundation of classical mechanics and help us understand how things move in the world around us.

Newton’s First Law of Motion - The Law of Inertia
“An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.”
• In simple terms: Things like to keep doing what they’re already doing.
• Inertia: This property of an object to resist a change in its state of motion is called inertia. The more mass an object has, the more inertia it has.
