When two objects interact, the first pushes the second as the second pushes back in the opposite direction.

Back

Newton's Third Law

Front

Rate of change of velocity (m/s²)

Back

Acceleration

Front

Change in motion is proportional to net force and inversely proportional to inertia.

Back

Newton's Second Law

Front

Set of interacting objects describing a situation or event

Front

Object's continue their state unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

Back

Newton's First Law

Front

Objects apply fundamental forces on each other.
