    Understanding Newton’s Laws of Motion


    ● First Law (Inertia):
    Newton’s First Law, also called the Law of Inertia, states that an object at rest stays at
    rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted on by an external force. For
    example, a book lying on a table will stay there unless you push it. This explains why
    seat belts are necessary: if a car suddenly stops, passengers inside would continue
    moving forward without a seat belt to stop them.
    ● Second Law (F = ma):
    Newton’s Second Law states that the force acting on an object is equal to its mass times
    its acceleration (F=maF = maF=ma). This law explains how the acceleration of an object
    depends on the force applied and the object's mass. For example, a small force applied
    to a heavy object like a truck will cause less acceleration compared to the same force
    applied to a lighter object like a bicycle.
    ● Third Law (Action-Reaction):
    Newton’s Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
    This means that forces always come in pairs. For example, when you push against a
    wall, the wall pushes back with an equal force in the opposite direction. This is also the
    principle behind how rockets launch: the rocket pushes exhaust gases downwards, and
    in response, the rocket is pushed upwards.
    ● Applications in Real Life:
    Newton's laws can be observed everywhere in daily life. For instance, when you’re
    driving and suddenly hit the brakes (First Law), or when you throw a ball and see that
    heavier balls are harder to accelerate (Second Law), or when jumping off a boat and
    noticing the boat moves backward (Third Law).
