LAWS OF MOTION
CHAPTER FIVELAWS OF INTRODUCTIONIn the preceding Chapter, our concern was to describe themotion of a particle in space quantitatively. We saw thatuniform MOTION needs the concept of velocity alone whereasnon-uniform MOTION requires the concept of acceleration inaddition. So far, we have not asked the question as to whatgoverns the MOTION of bodies. In this chapter, we turn to thisbasic us first guess the answer based on our commonexperience. To move a football at rest, someone must kick throw a stone upwards, one has to give it an upwardpush. A breeze causes the branches of a tree to swing; astrong wind can even move heavy objects.
