| Newton's First Law of Motion |
|
Definition
| Every object continues in its state of rest, or uniform motion in a straight line, unless it is compelled to change that state by forces impressed on it. |
|
|
Term
| Newton's 2nd Law of Motion |
|
Definition
| The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object,is in the direction of the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of the object. |

|
Definition
| Whenever one object exerts a force on a second object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite force on the first. |
