Newton`s First Law of Motion
... forces acting on a body to its motion. The first is the law of inertia, it states that ‘every object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force’. • The second is commonly stated as ‘force equals mass times acceleration’, or F = ma. • The third and final law is commonly known ...
