Newton’s Laws of Motion

Newton’s First Law of Motion

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.

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Acceleration (a) is produced when a force (F) acts on a mass (m). The greater the mass of the object which is being accelerated the more amount of force is needed in donate to accelerate the object.

F = ma
