Question

Newton’s law of motion were published in the year 1699:
A. True
B. False

Answer 1

This question is based on the topic named, ‘Newton’s law of motion.’ In total, Newton derived and published 3 laws. All these laws defined the change in the physical properties of the body concerning the force acting on it. The history of the emergence of the laws should be known to answer this.

Complete answer:
Newton's first law of motion - An object that is at rest will stay at rest unless a force acts upon it and an object that is in motion will be moving with a constant velocity unless a force acts upon it. In turn, this law of motion defines the inertia. Inertia is the resistance offered by the body to change in its velocity.
Newton's second law of motion - The product of the mass and acceleration a body equals the force acting on it. In turn, this law of motion defines the quantity of motion a body has.
Newton's third law of motion – A pair of action and reaction involves forces with equal magnitude and opposite direction.
Issac Newton published all these above-mentioned laws in 1687 in his book named ‘Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy’.
As Newton’s laws of motion were published in the year 1687.

Thus, option (B) is correct.

Note:
The laws of Newton were verified by carrying out many experiments and the respective observations over a period span of 200 years. Newton’s laws of motion are the foundation (the basic building block) for classical mechanics. The one thing to know is that Newton’s laws of motion are different from that of Newton’s law of universal gravitation. Newton's law of gravitation defines the force of attraction between the two bodies/objects.
