November 2, 2009 In this paper you will read about Isaac
Newton’s three laws of motion. Sir Isaac Newton was a British
physicist. Many people regard him as the greatest physicist of
all time. His work is often compared with that of Archimedes and
Galileo. The scientific discoveries that he made have given way
to new scientific ideas and realizations today. Isaac Newton
created the 3 Laws of Motion. These laws explain the properties
of motion, why objects move in a certain manner, and what causes
them to move that way. The first law of motion, also called the
law of inertia, states: “an object in motion stays in motion
unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An object at rest
stays at rest unless it is acted upon by an external force.”
This means that when an object is moving, it will stay moving
unless a force interferes with it. It also means that when an
object is stopped, it will remain that way until an outside
force disrupts it. The thing that causes an object to reject
motion or resist the urge to sto
