		The laws of motion (laws of inertia) are the three scientific laws which Isaac Newton described; regarding the motion of bodies.
		Newton's laws were modified, in 1916, by Einstein's theory of relativity.
		Newton's law indicates that some force (gravity) must be acting upon the planets, as they do not travel in a straight line.

	Newtons Laws of Motion.
		When Newton substituted this formula into Kepler's third law, he found that the centripetal force holding the planets in their given orbits about the Sun must decrease with the square of the planets' distance from the Sun.
		Newton compared the distance by which the Moon, in its orbit of known size, is diverted from a tangential path in one second with the distance that a body at the surface of the Earth falls from rest in one second.
		Newton, whose only close contacts with women were his unfulfilled relationship with his mother, who had seemed to abandon him, and his later guardianship of a niece, found satisfaction in the role of patron to the circle of young scientists.

		Newton's laws of motion are the three scientific laws which Isaac Newton discovered concerning the behaviour of moving bodies.
		The law of conservation of momentum, which Newton derived as a corollary of his second and third laws, was the first conservation law to be discovered.
		It is often contended that Newton's third law is incorrect when electromagnetic forces are included: if a body A exerts a force on body B, then body B will in general exert a different force on body A (the force considered is the Lorentz force, generated by electric and magnetic fields).

	ScienceMaster - JumpStart - Newton's Three Laws of Motion
		Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
		Newton also developed the calculus of mathematics, and the "changes" expressed in the second law are accurately defined in differential forms.
		His second law defines a force to be equal to the differential change in momentum per unit time as described by the calculus of mathematics which Newton also developed.

	Newton's Laws
		Any change in motion involves an acceleration, and then Newton's Second Law applies; in fact, the First Law is just a special case of the Second Law for which the net external force is zero.
		Newton's third law is one of the fundamental symmetry principles of the universe.
		Newton's third law can be illustrated by identifying the pairs of forces which are involved in supporting the blocks on the spring scale.

	Newton's laws of motion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Newton's Laws of Motion are three physical laws which provide relationships between the forces acting on a body and the motion of the body, first formulated by Sir Isaac Newton.
		Inertia of motion was described in the third century BCE in the Mo Tzu, a collection of Chinese philosphical texts, and the 17th century philosopher René Descartes also formulated the law, although he did not perform any experiments to confirm it.
		Newton's laws of motion, together with his law of universal gravitation and the mathematical techniques of calculus, provided for the first time a unified quantitative explanation for a wide range of physical phenomena.

	More on Motion
		In physics, motion means a change in the position of a body with respect to time, as measured by a particular observer in a particular frame of reference.
		Until the end of the 19th century, Newton's laws of motion, which he posited as axioms or postulates in his famous Principia, were the basis of what has since become known as classical physics.
		Because motion is defined as the proportion of space to time, these concepts are prior to motion, just as the concept of motion itself is prior to force.

	Newton's Three Laws of Motion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it.
		Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector.
		This law is exemplified by what happens if we step off a boat onto the bank of a lake: as we move in the direction of the shore, the boat tends to move in the opposite direction (leaving us facedown in the water, if we aren't careful!).

	Isaac Newton.
		Newtons laws of motion and much of the rest of his theory was chiefly put in Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy) published in 1687.
		Newton was the chief proponent of behaviour laws and no-explanations 'fl box science', maybe chiefly because he could see no way to decide between the alternative Gilbert and Descartes physics explanations ('Newton's Dilemma') or between particle and wave explanations of light.
		Newton did convince some other scientists of his time into favouring fl box science that could predict everything as not needing explanations, but explanation-theory retained its popularity among scientists and was even credited to Newton ironically.

		Isaac Newton discovered his laws of motion at the young age of 24 when he was living in the British country side away from Cambridge University to escape the plague of 1665-1667.
		Alone in the country side and as young as you, Newton discovered three laws of physics which predict motion from the swinging of a pendulum to the motion of planets and galaxies.
		Newtons second law introduces mass as a scaler which determines how much force is required to accelerate, to change the velocity of, a body.

	Laws of Motion and Thermodynamics
		A body continues in a state of rest, or in motion at constant speed in a straight line, except when this state is changed by forces acting on it.
		The final law to be worked out was given the name of the zeroth law (bearing the number zero) because, although it was added as an afterthought, it belongs logically in front of the other three, which had by then already been given numbers.
		All four laws are connected with the idea known as entropy, which is a measure of how much useful work can be extracted from a given system.

	Newtons laws
		The story of how a set of rules we call Newton's laws of motion came to exist in their present form is interesting as much for revealing some of the quirks and biases that Newton held as it relates the laws themselves.
		Newton suggested that the relationship followed an inverse square rule; he agreed to send the proof to Halley.
		Newton was instantly recognized for the genius that he was and eclipsed all of the other scientists of his time.
