Newton's Laws of Motion form the basis of the Force Model, with each law clarifying how forces govern the dynamics of objects. Throughout the chapter, examples demonstrate how the Force Model helps explain why objects remain stationary or move, and we set the stage for further exploration of momentum conservation and motion prediction in subsequent chapters.
