|
Definition
| Newton's first law of motion (inertia), an object at rest will remain at rest, or an object in motion will continue in motion at the same speed and in the same direction, until acted upon by an outside force. For example, once an airplane is moving, another force may act on it to bring it to a stop, otherwise it will continue in its motion. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| The second law of motion (force) states that if an object moving with uniform speed is acted upon by an external force, the change of motion, or acceleration, will be directly proportional to the amount of force and inversely proportional to the mass of the object being moved. Simply stated, an object being pushed by 10 pounds of force will travel faster than it would if it were pushed by 5 pounds of force. |

Definition
| The third law of motion (action and reaction) states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. This law is demonstrated with a balloon. if you inflate a balloon and release it without securing the neck, as the air is expelled the balloon will move in the opposite direction of the air rushing out of it. |
