...Communicating a Shared Vision Newton's First Law of Motion: Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it. (Hazen and Trefil. 1990) Vision refers to the mental picture of what a school...

...inertia, inherited from Galileo and Descartes: LAW 1 Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it. Newton's second law, the real centerpiece of his dynamics, tells what happens...

...relativity theory. Newton's first law of mechanics states that a body continues in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces acting upon it. 4 This statement of the law turns out to be perspectival. It is from the point...

...a straight line. Newton's First Law of Motion : Every body continues to be in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by force imposed or applied on it. Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation : According to this law, the...

...Energy as a restatement of Newton's first law of motion: "Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it." But the Principle as stated is at the same time less general (comprehending...

...known as the law of inertia, states that: "every body remains at rest or moves with constant velocity in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by an unbalanced force acting upon it" (adapted from (12|). One often tends to interpret this law in a...

...Isaac Newton, in his extraordinary masterpiece Principia, every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it. An operational definition of force, then, is an action that causes a change...
