Forces and Newton’s Laws of Motion

While most people know what Newton s laws say, many people do not know what they mean (or simply do not believe what they mean
1st Law – An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
2nd Law – Force equals mass times acceleration.
3rd Law – For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced forc
An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object in motion will stay in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its velocity: whether in motion or motionless.
Once airborne, unless acted on by an unbalanced force (gravity and air – fluid friction), it would never stop!
Unless acted upon by an unbalanced force, this golf ball would sit on the tee forever.
Why then, do we observe every day objects in motion slowing down and becoming motionless seemingly without an outside force?
