Question

It is also commonly referred of as the law of impetus.

True
False

Answer 1

Impetus is an older idea than newtons.But the law of impetus is unheard of on my piece of internet. There is a theory of impetus however. Impetus seems on a first quick look something like momentum of a body. Momentum is defined by mass times velocity m*v

Answer 2

so false. There is no law of impetus.
