Same Direction + Opposite direction -
3 of 7
What is Newtons First Law
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
4 of 7
What is Newtons Second Law
The aceleration in the direction of a resultant force depends on the size of the force and the mass of the object
5 of 7
What is Newtons Third Law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.

What is centripetal force
A force that cause objects to follow a circular path. The force acts towards the centre of the circle.
