Topic: Basics of Physics: Exploring the Laws of Motion - This program is dedicated to Newton’s Laws of Motion. Though Isaac Newton lived long before speedy forms of transportation he was able to formulate the three laws of motion which help to explain many of the natural phenomenon we come across on a regular basis. These three laws help us to understand why we are pulled from side to side on a speeding roller coaster or why we fall forward when the brakes of a car are suddenly applied. They help us to understand how a rocket is able to blast into space and then maneuver without brakes. They even help us to understand the principles behind carnival and amusement park rides.
