...hence the body itself has motion of translation in a straight line. This fact was expressed by Newton as follows: Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far as it may be compelled to change that state by...

...statement of the First Law of Motion, as expressed by Sir Isaac Newton more than two centuries ago. It is as follows: "Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, except in so far as it may be compelled by force to change that...

...principle, the Third with the subjoined scholium contains two. Newton's statement of these laws is as follows : /. Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line except in so far as it is compelled by force to change that state....

...passive or inert, and the property thus manifested is called inertia* (Art. 9). The law of inertia is as follows : — Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by an external force. This...

...physico. Newton's laws of motion which are "of the nature of axioms and incapable of experimental proof," are as follows: "Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless compelled to change that state by an external force. "Every...

...Thus we are justified in assuming the correctness of Newton's first law of motion, which is enunciated as follows : — Every body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line, unless it be compelled by impressed force to change that state....

...his laws, three in number, as "axioms, or laws of motion." Newton wrote his laws as follows: LAW I* Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it. LAW Ilf The change of motion...

...laws that operate upon mass, and are the very laws to which Laplace was referring. Laws of motion: I. Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by force* impressed upon it. II. The change of motion is...

...All ballistics followed from this. Newton was not the first to state his First Law of Motion, that 'every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it'. Huygens and Descartes had...

...a body, in order to change its state, either of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line. Law I: Every body continues in its state of rest, or of uniform motion in a right line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed upon it. Let us subject the concept...
