Newton's First Law
If a body is at rest it will remain at rest, or if it is travelling with a uniform velocity (constant speed in a straight line) it will remain like this until a resultant force acts upon it.
8 of 10
Newton's Second Law
The acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to its mass, directly proportional to the resultant force and it takes places in the direction that the force acts in.
9 of 10
Newton's Third Law
If body A exerts a force on body B, body B exerts an equa
