Imagine you're chilling on your couch, scrolling through memes. Suddenly, your mom yells, "Move your bag!" You give it a lazy kick — and it slides across the floor. That, my friend, is physics in action.

About 350 years ago, a genius named Isaac Newton watched apples fall, carts move, and planets spin — and figured out 3 simple rules that explain almost everything that moves. These are called Newton's Laws of Motion.

First Law: The Law of Laziness (Inertia)

"An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion — unless something messes with it."

Example: Your backpack won't move unless you push it. And once it's rolling… well, good luck stopping it before it knocks over your little brother.

Second Law: The "Push Harder" Law (F = ma)

"The harder you push, the faster it goes. But heavy stuff? Needs more push."

Newton put it mathematically: Force = mass × acceleration (F = ma).

Example: Pushing a toy car = easy. Pushing a real car = call your friends. More mass = more force needed to accelerate.

Third Law: The "Boomerang" Law (Action-Reaction)

"For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction."

Example: Jump off a skateboard? The board flies backward. Rocket engines blast gas down — rocket zooms up. Even walking: you push the ground back, and it pushes you forward!

These three laws are the foundation of classical physics. Whether you're launching rockets, playing football, or just trying not to spill your coffee while running late — Newton's got your back.

So next time you're lazing on the couch, remember: you're not being lazy… you're just obeying Newton's First Law. 😉
