Newton's Laws of Motion

An object at rest stays at rest or an object in motion stays in motion until unbalanced forces act upon it.

• Newton's First Law of Motion
• Newton's Third Law of Motion
• Newton's Second Law of Motion

The tendency of a physical object to remain still or continue moving, unless force is applied.

• Velocity
• Acceleration
• Inertia
• Friction

The state of an object when it is not in motion.

• moving

• at rest

Forces on an object that cause change in the motion of the object.

• Unbalanced force

• Balanced force

Acceleration of an object depends on the object's mass and magnitude of the force acting upon it (F=ma).
