Abstract: Abstract The study of Newtonian mechanics involves the application of three well-known laws of motion to the movement of a body experiencing a net, or resultant, force. Newton’s first, second, and third laws are as follows [MT95]: 1 A body remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force. 2 A body acted upon by a force moves in such a way that the time rate of change of momentum equals the force. 3 Whenever a body exerts a force on another body, the latter exerts a force of equal magnitude and opposite direction on the former.
