Isaac Newton's three
basic laws of motion are presented here along with the equations that derive from them.
-
Conservation of Momentum : An object in motions tends to remain in
motion. An object at rest tends to remain at rest. An external force is required to change the momentum.
-
Relationship of Force, Mass and Acceleration : F = ma. Acceleration
and force are vectors, and the force vector operates in the same direction as the acceleration.
-
Action / Reaction : For every action there is an equal and opposite
reaction.
