| Newton's First Law of Motion |
|
Definition
| A body continues in a state of rest or of motion in a straight line at a constant speed unless made to change that state by forces acting on it. |
|

Term
| Newton's second law of motion |
|
Definition
a=F/m
a= acceleration
F= force
m= mass
The acceleration of a body is proportional to the net fore exerted on it, but inversely proportional to the mass of the body. |
