Newton’s First Law of Motion
By: Me, Savannah O’Bryan
There are two laws that go along with Isaac Newton’s first law of motion. They are the second law, and the third law. They all relate to each other too. These laws were first invented by Sir Isaac Newton, and were first published, by him, on July 5, 1687. The first law of motion is simplified as “A body persists its state of rest or of uniform motion unless acted upon by an external unbalanced force. This law is often referred to as the law of inertia. In other words, if the vector sum, or net force, of all forces acting on an object, is zero, then the state of motion of the object does not change. But, remember that an object that is not moving will not move until a net force acts upon it. Also, that an object that is not moving will not change its velocity, or accelerate, until a net force acts upon it. This law is really just a reinstatement of what Galileo had already proved; and Newton actually gave Galileo all of the credit. Aristotle also believed something around this. He believed that all objects have a natural place in the universe. He also believed that heavy rocks wanted to be at rest on the Earth and that light objects such as smoke wanted to be at rest at the sky; and that stars wanted to be at rest in the heavens. The main difference between these two beliefs is that Galileo and Newton realized that the force acting on a body determines acceleration, not velocity. So to sum it all up, An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
