I n this book, we’re going to talk about Friction and the Laws of Motion. So, let’s get right to it!






Sir Isaac Newton





T he three laws of motion that Sir Isaac Newton, the famous physicist, stated over three centuries ago might seem like common sense today. However, when he first proposed them, they were thought to be a revolution in scientific thought.
His concepts became the foundation for the study of physics.




A t the beginning, Newton was studying the motion of the planets. He began to describe how these huge planets and other celestial objects would behave when forces, such as gravity, influenced them. To formulate his laws, Newton had three important factors— the mass of an object, the length it travels, and the time period it takes.

NEWTON’S FIRST LAW OF MOTION
N ewton’s first law of motion tells us that if an object is stationary it will remain that way unless a force is applied to it. Also, an object that’s in motion will stay that way unless a force prevents it from staying in motion.




W hen an object stays at rest, we say that it’s in a state of “inertia.” Newton’s law means that an object doesn’t suddenly stop, completely change directions, or start moving all by itself. Some force must act upon the object to get it to move.
