ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Euler's laws

Okay kiddo, imagine you are playing with your toy car on a road. Euler's laws are like rules that tell you what your toy car will do when you push it or stop it.

The first law says that if you don't push your toy car, it will just stay still. And if it's already moving, it will keep moving in a straight line at the same speed, unless something else stops it or changes its direction.

The second law says that the more you push your toy car, the faster it will go. And the heavier your toy car is, the harder it will be to push it.

The third law says that when you push your toy car forward, it pushes back on you with the same force, but in the opposite direction. So if you push too hard, your hand might get hurt!

These laws help scientists and engineers understand how things move and interact with each other, not just toy cars but also bigger things like airplanes, satellites and even planets. It's like having a set of instructions for how the world works!
