<p>Newton's laws of motion are three basic laws of classical mechanics. The first law states that a body remains at rest or in motion at a constant speed in a straight line unless acted upon by a force. The second law states that when a body is acted upon by a net force, the body's acceleration multiplied by its mass is equal to the net force. The third law states that if two bodies exert forces on each other, these forces have the same magnitude but opposite directions.</p> Signup and view all the answers
