Newton's Three Laws of Motions

            Isaac Newton, the father of mechanics, is one of the most important scientists who ever lived, changing the standards by which scientists think today. His genius in mathematics and mechanics is exemplified by his creation of calculus to explain observations of the world around him. In addition, his laws of motion opened the door to progressive new thinking, enlightening the minds of thousands to the nature of things. His laws of motion make up the foundation for which dynamic meteorology exists.

1)    Law of Inertia—a body at rest or in motion will tend to stay that way until acted upon by a net external force.

2)    Law of Acceleration—a change in motion relates directly to a force trying to move it.
F = ma    or    F = ρg


3)    Action-Reaction Law—for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
