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.
