So are Newton's laws also an approximation to quantum phenomena. Can it be derived from quantum laws?

Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that describe the relationship between the forces acting on an object and its motion. They were developed by Sir Isaac Newton in the 17th century and are considered fundamental principles in classical mechanics.
An approximation is a simplified version of a more complex concept or idea. In the case of Newton's laws, they are considered an approximation because they do not hold true in all situations and are limited by certain conditions such as high speeds or extremely small scales.
Newton's laws are an approximation because they do not take into account certain factors such as air resistance, friction, and the effects of relativity. Additionally, they are based on classical mechanics and do not accurately describe the behavior of objects at very high speeds or on a quantum level.
The accuracy of Newton's laws depends on the situation and the level of detail being examined. In everyday situations, they are generally accurate enough to make accurate predictions. However, in more extreme conditions, such as at high speeds or on a very small scale, they may not hold true and more advanced theories are needed to accurately describe the behavior of objects.
No, Newton's laws are limited in their applicability and may not accurately describe the behavior of all objects. They are most accurate when applied to objects at everyday speeds and scales, but may not hold true for objects moving at very high speeds or at a microscopic level.
