The Physics Crash Course

Chapter 3: The Laws of Motion

Learn the basics of physics, because let's be real, who needs calculus?

3.2: The Laws of Motion

Today we're going to learn about the three laws of motion. Because, you know, it's not like you have a choice.

Law 1: An object at rest will remain at rest.

Yeah, it's a real thrill-ride. Objects just chillin' on the couch, not moving an inch.

Example 1: The Couch Potato Example 2: The Lazy Cat

Law 2: A force applied to an object will change its state of motion.

Like, who hasn't been in a car crash and thought, 'Hey, I'm going somewhere!'?

Example 1: The Car Crash

When you're driving down the highway at 60, and suddenly you're driving down the highway at 60 in reverse. That's physics, folks!

Example 2: The Pizza Delivery Guy

You know, the guy who runs around like his life depends on it. And, well, it probably does.
