...part of the ice or on the part of the air, to decrease the speed of his motion. Every body continues in its state of rest or in its state of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled by some force to change that state. Any change which a body may exhibit is at once... | |

...take a step backward quickly in order to keep our balance. It is a property of all matter to persist in its state of rest, or in its state of uniform motion in a straight line, except as it is compelled by some external force to alter that state of rest, or of motion. That property... | |

...velocity. A body's momentum is conserved unless an external force acts upon a body. Kinetics is based on Newton's first law of motion, which states that a body will remain in a state of rest or will continue to move with constant velocity unless an unbalanced external force... | |

...Motion Newton's three laws of motion can be paraphrased as (Ref. [1.1]): 1. Every particle continues in its state of rest or in its state of uniform motion in a straight line unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it. 2. The time rate of change of momentum... | |
