Newton's First Law (also known as
the Law of Inertia) states that an
object at rest tends to stay at rest
until acted upon by a net external
force.
Newton's Second Law states that the
acceleration of an object is directly
proportional to the magnitude of the
net force acting on the object and
inversely proportional to its mass.
Newton's Third Law states that for
every action there is an equal and
opposite reaction.
