Newton’s Three Laws of Motion – Animated

I don’t know about you, but if I was asked what Newton’s Three Laws of Motion are, I would probably garble something that might approximate to one of them.  So thanks goodness for animations like this.  Created for the Royal Observatory Greenwich, director Amael Isnard has come up with this wonderful animation that illustrates Newton's 3 Laws of Motion with some lovely 2D animation and astronauts Bella, Isaac, Neeva and Max.

The astronauts take on a mission to Mars – and seem like a pretty diverse lot which probably means the mission was funded outside by someone other than a well-known car manufacturer. During their trip they experience all three laws in action, making this a fairly straightforward way to get a grip on the laws and to retain them – once and for all – in one’s head.

Wait, what was that third law again? Better press play once more, and sit through Bella and the others having their little jaunt to Mars. There’s worse things you could be doing, after all.
