Physics 1: Motion and Forces
HS PS2-1 Newton's Laws
Hero can experiment
Motion:
Force and motion
Acceleration
Newton's First Law
An object at rest will stay at rest, and an object traveling in a straight line will remain traveling straight, until an external force acts upon it = INERTIA
Newton's Second Law F = mA
Force equals mass x acceleration
Force = momentum (F x v) per second
A force will cause a change in velocity; also a change in velocity will generate a force
Newton's Third Law
For every action (Force), there is an equal and opposite force

Hero of Alexandria experimented with a steam "engine". It didn't move along but rotated when steam entered a sphere and the vented steam caused the rotation. It was called an aeolipile.
