The three laws of motion
Issac Newton discovered the basic three laws of motion which were, An object will remain at rest or moving in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
When force is applied to an object, it will accelerate (Force = mass x acceleration).
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These three basic laws were dicovered in the year 1687. These laws helped people understand how things happen and why they happen, -
