What does Newton's first law of motion state?

• An object will stay still or keep moving in a straight line unless something else makes it change

• The more force you use, the faster an object will move

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

• Objects are attracted to each other by gravity

How does Newton's second law of motion explain the effect of force on movement?

• The more force you use, the faster an object will move

• An object will stay still unless acted upon

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

• Objects in motion tend to stay in motion
