    Newton's Laws of Motion

    Newton's First Law states that an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force. Newton's Second Law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. Newton's Third Law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
