A body will remain at rest or will continue to move at a constant velocity so long as there is zero resultant force acting upon it.

Newton's Second Law (Word Definition)
The acceleration of a body is directly proportional to and in the same direction as the result force acting upon it. In addition, the acceleration is inversely proportional to the mass of the body.

Newton's Second Law (Equation)
F=ma, but we tend to look at acceleration, so a=F/m. (a=acceleration/ms-2, m=mass/kg, F=Resultant force/N)
3 of 7
Newton's Third Law
If body A exerts a force upon body B then body B exerts the equal and opposite force upon body A. The forces are of the same type and act upon the same line of action.
