What’s on the Newton's Laws poster
A 3-row table: Law · States.
The laws and what each actually says.
- First — A body stays at rest or in uniform motion unless acted on by a resultant force
- Second — Resultant force equals rate of change of momentum
- Third — Every force has an equal and opposite reaction on a different body
Third-law pairs act on DIFFERENT bodies and are the same type of force. Weight and normal reaction are not a third-law pair.

- Who is the Newton's Laws poster for?
- Newton's Laws belongs to the Physics section rather than to a school year, because physical science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning mechanics can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the Newton's Laws poster?
- The second law is F = dp/dt. F = ma is a special case for constant mass. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so Newton's Laws belongs on the wall where that physical science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with Newton's Laws?
- Circular Motion, Free Body Diagrams and Friction & Drag sit alongside Newton's Laws in the Physics section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Circular MotionFree Body DiagramsFriction & Drag
- Is the Newton's Laws poster free to download and print?
- Yes. Newton's Laws downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Physics section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the Newton's Laws poster print at?
- Newton's Laws is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of Newton's Laws loses nothing.Printing guide
