Newton’s three laws of motion may be stated as follows: Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it; Force equals mass times acceleration; For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Newton’s First Law (the Law of Inertia): the first law of motion states that every body continues to be in its state of rest, or of uniform motion unless it is compelled by some external force to change that state.

Newton’s Second Law: the second law of motion states that the acceleration of a moving body depends upon the mass of the object as well as the force acting on the object.

Newton’s Third Law: the third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
