Newton's Laws of Motion Quiz

A body remains at rest, or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line, unless acted upon by a force.

When a body is acted upon by a net force, the body's acceleration multiplied by its mass is equal to the net force.

If two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions.
