Who is Isaac Newton?
 In the 16th century, Galileo contributed considerably to the rapid advance of
science, especially mechanics. The year he died, another great scientist, Isaac Newton (1642
-1727) was born, destined to continue Galileo's great work. Like Galileo, Newton was
interested in experimental science, particularly that part of mechanics involving bodies in
motion.

Newton was the first person to study motion fundamentally. He studied and clarified
some of Galileo's ideas and proposed three laws of motion concerning relations between
force and motion.

The three laws of motion by Isaac Newton

Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a
straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is
normally taken as the definition of inertia.
The second law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it is subjected to an
external force. The law defines a force to be equal to change in momentum (mass times
velocity) per change in time.
The third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite
reaction.

Newton’s first law of motion (law of inertia)

Galileo said that velocity is not necessarily zero if there is no force; it is

acceleration which is zero if there is no force. This idea was restated by Newton's
first law of motion, sometimes called the law of is a inertia. Inertia property of a
body that tends to preserve that body's state of rest when it is at rest or to
maintain a body's motion when it is in motion. The mass of the body is a
measure of its inertia.

Example: Consider a passenger standing on a bus that is running at a constant

speed along a straight highway. When the driver suddenly steps on the brakes,
the passenger is thrown forward. So, the passenger maintains his state of
constant speed unless acted upon by an external force.
So the law of inertia has two parts which are the:
BODY AT REST
According to the first law of motion, this object will remain at rest. This
state of rest can only be changed by applying an external force on the body, such
that it is a net force. The body is acted upon by two forces as it lies on the table:
These are its weight and the upward reaction exerted by the table. But these
two forces alone have a zero resultant, which means that there is 0 net force on
the object.
BODY IN MOTION
As for the second part of Newton's first law of motion, consider a body in motion.
This law says that the body will remain in uniform motion along astraight line. This means
that it will move at a constant speed in a fixed direction unless it is acted upon by a net
external force.
Newton’s second law of motion (law of mass and acceleration)

The equation F = ma is probably the most-used equation in mechanics. It states

that the net force on a body is equal to the mass multiplied by the acceleration.
The equation is valid provided proper units are used for the force, the mass, and
the acceleration. Both sides of the equation involve vector quantities. The
equation a = F/m says that the acceleration produced is proportional to the net
force and inversely proportional to the mass. It can also be written as m = F/a.
This equation says that the mass of a body is the ratio of the applied force to the
corresponding acceleration.

Newton’s third law of motion (law of force)

Newton's third law of motion posits that for every force applied, there is always
an equal and opposite reaction. Or, if one body exerts a force on another, the
second body exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. It is not possible to
exert a force on a body without a reaction, and the reaction exerted by the body
is exactly equal to the force being applied to the body, neither more nor less.
