Malacheye Simpson Newton’s Three Laws of Motion June 1 2017 The three laws of motion are the three laws of motion that Sir Isaac Newton discovered in 1666. The scientist discovered these laws when he was sitting under an apple tree, and an apple fell on his head. That apple and the probably now bruise on his head, made him realize the laws of motion. Isaac Newton’s first law of motion explains that when an object is in motion then it will stay in motion until stopped by a heavier object or by force. For example: the now popular Fidget Spinners. Once you get the spinner spinning, it will continue to spin until it is stopped. It could spin forever. Another example is that: If you shoot a gun, then the bullet will never stop until it hits a tree or a building or person or animal. The bullet will be going at a constant velocity until it is stopped. Another thing that it says is that the opposite is true; when an object is at rest, then it will continue to stay at rest until it is put into motion by force. An example of that is: say that that there is a table. On that table is a ball. That ball isn’t moving. It will never ever, ever, move until it is moved by wind, or a human hand. Another example is: say that you fire a gun. The bullet will continue to go until it is stopped by hitting something like a target, or tree, or person. Another example is say that you are playing baseball, and you’re the pitcher. You throw the ball and the ball (the ball in
