...Isaac Newton stated its fundamental principles in the form of three laws : FUNDAMENTAL LAWS. — 1. Every body continues in a stale of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless acted on by a force which compels a change. This law expresses the fact that matter is inert and perfectly... | |
