|
Newton's First Law of Motion
|
An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion will stay in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
|
|
|
Newton's Second Law of Motion
|
The acceleration of an object by a force is inversely proportional to the mass of the object and directly proportional to the force.
F = M x A |
|
|
Newton's Third Law of Motion
|
For every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction.
