What does Newton's First Law of Motion state?

• An object in motion will stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

• An object in motion will eventually come to a stop without any force.
• An object will change direction only if a force is applied.
• An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

According to Newton's second law of motion, how is force calculated?

• Force is calculated as

  F = m x a.

• Force is calculated as

  F = m / a.

• Force is calculated as

  F = m + a.

• Force is calculated as

  F = a / m.

What is Newton's third law of motion?

• An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by a force.
• For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
• For every force, there is a corresponding force in the same direction.
• For every action, there is a proportional reaction.
