What is Newton's 1st Law?

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• An object at rest will stay at rest, an object in motion will stay in motion, unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.

• Acceleration depends on two variables, the mass of the object and the amount of force. (Force = mass x acceleration)

What is Newton's 2nd Law?

• For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

• Acceleration depends on two variables, the mass of the object and the amount of force. (Force = mass x acceleration)

• An object at rest will stay at rest, an object in motion will stay in motion, unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.

• Acceleration depends on two variables, the mass of the object and the amount of force. (Force = mass x acceleration)
