what is laws of motion?

Dear student,

Newton gave three basic laws of motion. These are:

1st law

An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

This law is often called "the law of inertia".

This means that there is a natural tendency of objects to keep on doing what they're doing. All objects resist changes in their state of motion. In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object in motion will maintain this state of motion.

 

2nd law

Force acting on a body is directly proportional to rate of change of momentum of the body.

F = dp/dt

Where F is the force, p is the momentum.

3rd law:

For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.

This means that for every force there is a reaction force that is equal in size, but opposite in direction.That is to say that whenever an object pushes another object it gets pushed back in the opposite direction equally hard. 

regards
