Laws of motion were firstly introduced by Issac Newton. He stated three laws which nowadays are known as Newton’s law of motion. His first law was the ‘Law of Inertia’, the second law of motion was F = ma, and the third law of motion was the law of action and reaction. Newton’s laws first appeared in his masterpiece, Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica (1687), commonly known as the principal. In the 20th century, Newton’s laws were replaced by quantum mechanics and relativity as the most fundamental laws of physics. Try this Force and Laws of Motion trivia quiz and mark the highest score!
