newton's laws of motion
Newton's laws of motion are a set of three fundamental principles that describe how forces affect the motion of objects. The laws state that objects at rest or in motion tend to stay that way unless acted upon by an external force, the force applied to an object is directly proportional to its mass and acceleration, and for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
