General Science covers basic concepts in Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Earth Science. It is an important section in competitive exams like SSC CGL, UPSC Prelims, Railway NTPC, and Defence exams. Questions include scientific laws, inventions, human body systems, chemical reactions, and everyday science phenomena. NCERT Science books from Class 6 to 10 are recommended.
Newton's Three Laws of Motion: 1) First Law (Law of Inertia) - An object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force. 2) Second Law - Force equals mass times acceleration (F=ma). 3) Third Law - For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws are fundamental to Physics and frequently asked in SSC CGL, Railway, and NDA exams.
