1463 - What are Newton's three laws of motion.

Newton's three laws of motion are simple and fun to learn. Here they are:

  1. The First Law (Law of Inertia): An object will keep doing what it's doing unless a force stops it or makes it change direction. If it's moving, it will keep moving. If it's standing still, it will keep standing still.

  2. The Second Law (Law of Force and Acceleration): The more force you apply to an object, the faster it will accelerate. The heavier the object, the more force you need to make it move.

  3. The Third Law (Law of Action and Reaction): When you push or pull something, it always pushes or pulls back with the same force. That means there's always two forces at work, one going one way and the other going the opposite way.

These laws help us understand how things move and how forces work in our world.
