Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book establishes the fundamental principles of motion discovered by Sir Isaac Newton. The author begins by defining the relevant concepts, then describes three laws of motion, which form the core of classical mechanics. The first law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. The second law introduces the concept of force and states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied. The third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws are illustrated with examples and applied to various situations, such as the motion of projectiles and the behavior of springs. This book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the fundamental principles of physics.
