Isaac Newton's three Laws of Motion are clearly described, using animation and video to illustrate each law at work. This video introduction to Newton's Laws combines creative animation with concise narration and a touch of humor. The program is designed to help viewers develop a basic understanding of each law and how it works in the real world. A number of key physical science terms are introduced and defined: motion, inertia, friction, force, mass, acceleration, and resistance. There's also a brief introduction to Isaac Newton and his contributions to our understanding of motion.
