What are Newton's three laws of motion?
Newton's three laws of motion are: 1) A body at rest tends to stay at rest and a body in motion tends to stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force. 2) The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. 3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
