What does Newton's first law of motion state?

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

• Force equals mass times acceleration.

• An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

• The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.
