Newton's Laws of Motion Explained Simply

Newton's laws are the foundation of classical mechanics. Here's how to understand them:

First Law (Inertia): An object stays at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net force. Example: You jerk forward when a car brakes suddenly.

Second Law (F = ma): Force equals mass times acceleration. A heavier object needs more force to achieve the same acceleration.

Third Law (Action-Reaction): For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. Example: When you push a wall, the wall pushes back on you with equal force.

These three simple laws explain everything from a ball rolling to rockets launching!
