The law states that"everly body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion along a straight line, unless it us acted upon by some external force to change that state". 
  Thus is often paraphrased as "zero net force implies zero acceleration", but this is an oversimplification. As formulated by newton, the first law is more than a special case of the second law. The significance of the first law is to establish frames of reference for which the other law are applicable, such frames being called Inertial Frames. 
  The net force on an object is the vector sum of all the forces acting on the object. Newton's First law says that if this sum is zero, the state of motion of tge object does not change. Essentially, it makes the following two points.
• An object that is not moving will not move untill a net force acts upon it. 
• An object that is in motion will not change it's velocity untill a net force acts upon it. 
  The first point seems relatively obvious to the most people, but the second may take some thinking through, because we have no experience in everyday life of things that keep moving forever(except celestial bodies). If one sides a hockey puck along a table, it doesn't move forever, it slows and eventually comes to a stop. But accourding to Newtons law, this is because a force is acting on the hockey puck and sure enough, there is frictional force between the table and the puck, and that frictional force is in the direction opposite the movement. It is thus force which cause the object to sliw to a stop. In the absence of such a force, the pucks motion would not slow. Newtons first law is just a restatement of what Galileo had already described and Newton gave credit to Galileo. 
  However, a key difference between Galileo idea and Aristotle's is that Galileo realised that force acting on the body determines Acceleration, not velocity, and hence the body will maintain its velocity.

What Is Force And Inertia? Force and Inertia

  Credits: Pixabay.com Newtons First law of motion defines force and inertia. According to Newtons first law of motion, an external force must act on a body to bring about a change in the state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line. This leads us to define force.    Force  is that which changes or tends to change the state of rest or of uniform motion of a body in a straight line.    From first law itvis clear that a material body by itself is unable to change its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line. This inability of a body to change by itself its state of rest or state of uniform motion along a straight line is called  Inertia  of the body. Newton's first law defines inertia and hence it is described as law of inertia.    Quantitatively, mass is the measure of inertia. Print Page <<PREVIOUS Newtons 1st Law of motion

Computer And Software

COMPUTER AND SOFTWARE An electric tool for the information to be kept on sanskariccetukkuvanum  computer  or  sanganakam  .  Or an appliance or electronic device that is processed by a collection of instructions.  The information to be made is to indicate the number of letters, letters, images, and sounds.  Supercomputers are the fastest and most efficient computers in the world.  They are primarily  used in space stations such as  NASA  and ISRO.  NASA's supercomputer name is called Colombia. Charles Babbage, English Mechanical Engineer, and Polyethum developed the concept of a programmable computer.  He developed the first mechanical computer at the beginning of the 19th century.  In 1833, he realized that it was a simple design, an analytical engine that was designed to help navigational calculations.  Programs and data are supplied by punched cards to the machine, a technique used to work on mechanical fibers...
