Newton’s First law of Motion, impulse and momentum
Content
The influence of unbalanced forces and the laws governing the motion are discussed in this topic.
Newton’s First Law of Motion
The first law states that every object continues in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
