Is Newton's 1st law of motion and 2nd law of motion are interrelated?

1) The first law gives you the definition of reference frame on which newton's laws are valid. Not in all frames, Newton's laws are valid.First law helps you identify such a frame. 2)In second law you have to calculate acceleration or (momentum) , from which reference frame you should calculate it, the answer is given by first law. read less

yes ,1st law of motion and 2nd law of motion are interrelated. how? His first law of motion states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. His second law of motion can be formally stated as follows: The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object. second law by mathematically delta a= f/m if we put f=0 than we get delta a=0 , so in first law a=0 due to no external force so 1st law is corollary of second law . @divya read less

Newton's First Law of Motion states that a body at rest will remain at rest unless an outside force acts on it, and a body in motion at a constant velocity will remain in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an outside force. If a body experiences an acceleration ( or deceleration) or a change in direction of motion, it must have an outside force acting on it. Outside forces are sometimes called net forces or unbalanced forces. The property that a body has that resists motion if at rest, or resists speeding or slowing up, if in motion, is called inertia. Inertia is proportional to a body's mass, or the amount of matter that a body has. The more mass a body has, the more inertia it has. The Second Law of Motion states that if an unbalanced force acts on a body, that body will experience acceleration ( or deceleration), that is, a change of speed. One can say that a body at rest is considered to have zero speed, ( a constant speed). So any force that causes a body to move is an unbalanced force. Also, any force, such as friction, or gravity, that causes a body to slow down or speed up, is an unbalanced force. This law can be shown by the following formula F= ma F is the unbalanced force m is the object's mass a is the acceleration that the force causes If the units of force are in newtons, then the units of mass are kilograms and the units of acceleration are m/s2. If the units of force are in pounds (English), then the units of mass are in slugs, and the units of acceleration are ft/s2. Motion of an object that is not accelerated (moving at a constant speed and in a straight line) can be found using the formula d= v t d is the distance traveled v is the rate of motion (velocity) t is the time read less
