moving

Isaac Newton

One of the greatest

infuential scientists
of all time.
He refned the idea
of
inertia and made it
into law.

Isaac Newton

One of the greatest

infuential scientists
of all time.
He formulated the 3
Laws of Motion

Inertia

A bodys resistance
to acceleration

First Law of Motion: Law of

INERTIA

A body at r

to remain a

body in mo

tends to co

motion alo

MASS

The quantity of
material in
matter. It is
measured in
kilograms or
grams.
