GRAVITY
"Everything in the universe,
whether big or small, exerts
gravity on other things."

NEWTON'S FIRST LAW OF MOTION
1.
The Law of Inertia
Objects in motion will stay in motion, and objects at rest
will stay at rest—unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
1.
The Law of Inertia
The golf ball will remain on the
ground until the golfer hits it.
NEWTON'S SECOND LAW OF MOTION
2.
The Law of Acceleration
states that the acceleration of an object with constant mass
is proportional to the net force action on it and is in the
same direction of the net force
2.
The Law of
Acceleration
The car accelerates forward since the
force due to its engine is greater than
the friction on the road.
NEWTON'S THIRD LAW OF MOTION
3.
The Law of Action and Reaction
Every action force has a reaction force that is equal in size
and opposite in direction.
3.
The Law of Action
and Reaction
On a rocket launch, the shuttle
exerts a downward force, and the
reaction force of the same size
pushes it upward.
