Newton's Laws

Newton's Laws of motion can be qualitatively summarized by the statement that changes in motion of objects are caused by forces acting on them. Thus, any object experiencing an acceleration is necessarily under the influence of a force. The specific effects that a particular force has are described by what are known as Newton's 3 laws, which we discuss in turn.
