• Newton's First Law-an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and moving in a straight line and an object at rest remains st rest unless acted upon by an outside force
• Newton's Second Law-an unbalanced force (or net force)causes an object to accelerate; this acceleration is directly proportional to the unbalanced force and inversely proportional to the object's mass
• Newton's Third Law-When one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts a force on the first object that is equal in magnitude, but opposite in direction
