...Laws of Motion, which we may now formally enunciate in the timehonoured language : — 1. Every body perseveres in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far as it is compelled by external forces to change that state. 2. Change of motion is proportional to the impressed... | |
