The three laws of motion, formulated by Sir Isaac Newton, are fundamental principles describing the relationship between the motion of an object and the forces acting on it. They are:
- First Law (Law of Inertia):
- An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion continues in motion at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
- This law highlights the concept of inertia, which is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion.
- Second Law:
- The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.
- It is mathematically expressed as , where is the net force applied to the object, is the mass of the object, and is its acceleration.
- Third Law:
- For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
- This means that if one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force back on the first object.
These laws form the foundation of classical mechanics and are essential for understanding the behavior of objects in various physical situations.

One of the most impactful learning experiences I had outside the classroom was during my transition from being a teacher to becoming an engineer. Teaching taught me patience, adaptability, and the art of breaking down complex ideas into simpler ones—a skill that proved invaluable in my engineering journey. The shift pushed me out of my comfort zone, challenging me to learn new technical skills while relying on the foundational qualities I developed as a teacher.
This experience taught me that true learning happens when we embrace change, remain curious, and carry forward the lessons of our past roles into new ones. It’s a journey that has shaped not only my career but also my perspective on the limitless nature of growth.
