Paper Prototype



Splash page has the title and definitions of the laws in old English. These are added in an attempt to confuse the viewer in a way to entice them to view the info-graphic.

 First Law; 
projectiles persevere in their motions, so far as they are not retarded by the resistance of the air, or impell'd downwards by the force of gravity. A top, whole parts by their cohesion are perpetually drawn aside from rectilinear motions, does not cease its rotation., otherwise than as it is retarded by the air. The greater bodies of the planets and comets, meeting with less resistance in more free spaces, preserve their motions both progressive and circular for a much longer time.

Second Law; 
If any force generates a motion, a double force will generate double the motion, a triple force the motion, whether that force be impress'd altogether and at once, or gradually and successively. And this motion (being always directed the frame way with the generating force) if the body moved before, is added to obstructed from the former motion, according as they directly conspire with or are directly contrary to each other; or obliquely joyned, when they are oblique, so as to produce a new motion compounded from the determination of both.

Third Law; 
Whatever draws or presses another is as much drawn or pressed by that other. If you press a stone whit your finger, the finger is also pressed by the stone. If a horse draws a stone tyed to a rope, the horse (if I may say) will be equally drawn back to-wards the stone: For the distended rope, by the frame endeavor to relax or unbend it self, will draw the horse as much towards the stone as it does the stone towards the horse, and will obstruct the progress of the one as much as it advances of the other. If a body impinge upon another , and by its force change the motion of the other; that body also (because of the equality of the mutual pressure) will undergo an equal change  in its own motion, towards the contrary part. The changes made by these actions are equal, not in the velocities, but in the motions of bodies; that is to say if the bodies are not hinder'd by any other impediments. For because the motions are equally changed, the changes of the velocities made towards contrary parts, are reciprocally proportional to the bodies.

To illustrate the laws a small robot, named New-Tron 4000, is used to give a fun aspect to the laws (previously seen as complicated).




To portray the first law I am going to have the robot roll along on a skateboard before hitting a wall and loosing his head. This shows the law of inertia.

For the second law will be shown with the robot being hit by a hammer in demonstration of the equation of acceleration (F=MA). 

The third law is going to be shown with the robot being shot from a cannon, and then the cannon rolls back showing the reaction.
