Newton's Laws of Motion: The Foundation of Classical Physics
Have you ever wondered why things move, stop, or speed up? Whether it’s a football flying through the air or a train screeching to a halt, there’s a scientific reason behind it. That reason is explained by something called Newton’s laws of motion. These three brilliant rules were created over 300 years ago by Sir Isaac Newton, and they still help scientists, engineers, and even astronauts understand how things move today.
In this topic, we’ll break down each law, explore real-world examples, and uncover the science that powers skateboards, rockets, and even apple trees. Newton’s laws of motion are not just part of science—they’re the foundation of classical physics. Let’s dive into the exciting world of forces, motion, and the laws that explain it all.
