...inherent or characteristic property of matter. The law of inertia was enunciated by Newton as follows :.Every body continues in its state of rest or of...uniform motion in a straight line except in so far as it is compelled by impressed forces to change that state. It thus appears that force causes not merely... | |

...external force is applied to a body, we are led to the statement culled the first law of motion: 1. Every body continues in, its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far at it may be compelled by impressed forces to change that state. This expresses simply the inertia... | |

...MATTER AND FORCE 79. WE commence with some theorems and definitions. Newton's First Law of Motion.— Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, except in so Jar as it may be compelled by force to change that state. The first part of this statement — that... | |

Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform...motion in a straight line, except in so far as it be compelled by impressed force to change that state. Law II. The rate of change of momentum is proportional... | |

By Newton's first law of motion we know that 'every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform...motion in a straight line, except in so far as it is compelled by forces to change that state. ' From this we learn that, if the speed of a body changes,... | |
