If by"Newton's laws" you mean the three laws of motion then technically it is only the third law - that to every action there is an equal and opposite, measurable, reaction that is a law. The other two laws are definitions of a quantity - Force. read more

Sir Isaac Newton's three laws of motion describe the motion of massive bodies and how they interact. While Newton's laws may seem obvious to us today, more than three centuries ago they were considered revolutionary. Newton was one of the most influential scientists of all time. His ideas became the basis for modern physics. read more

In their original form, Newton's laws of motion are not adequate to characterise the motion of rigid bodies and deformable bodies. Leonhard Euler in 1750 introduced a generalisation of Newton's laws of motion for rigid bodies called Euler's laws of motion, later applied as well for deformable bodies assumed as a continuum. read more
