Newton's laws of motion
Videos
Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that describe the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. These laws, which provide the basis for Newtonian mechanics,

A bouncing ball photographed at 25 frames per second using a stroboscopic flash. In between bounces, the ball's height as a function of time is close to being a parabola, deviating from a parabolic arc because of air resistance, spin, and deformation into a non-spherical shape upon impact.

Rockets, like the Space Shuttle Atlantis, expel mass during operation. This means that the mass being pushed, the rocket and its remaining onboard fuel supply, is constantly changing.
Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica

Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica, often called simply the Principia, is a book by Sir Isaac Newton that expounds Newton's laws of motion and his law of universal gravitation.

…forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions. The three laws of motion were first stated by Isaac Newton in his Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), originally published in 1687. Newton used them to investigate and explain the motion of many physical…
