Newton's Laws of Motion

Hey guys, today I'll be talking about Newton's Laws of Motion. Newton's First Law of Motion is the Law of Inertia. Newton's Law of Inertia states that an object at rest tends to stay at rest, unless an unbalanced force acts on the object and causes the object to move. An example of Newton's Law of Inertia is a ball at rest doesn't have any inertia until an unbalanced force acts on the ball and causes the ball to be put in motion.
Another example of Newton's Law of Inertia is shown in the picture below.
 

 
Newton's Second Law of Motion is the acceleration of an object equals the net force divided by the mass and is in the direction of the net force. An example is a soccer ball sitting still and then somebody goes and kicks it.




Now lets talk about Newton's Third Law of Motion. Newton's Third Law of Motion is that forces always act in equal but opposite pairs. Another way of saying this is for every action there is an equal, but opposite reaction. This means that when you push on a wall, the wall pushes back on you with a force equal in strength to the force you exerted.
That's all for today guys, see you next time. Wait quick question.
