What describes Newton's 1st Law of Motion?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Force is equal to (the product) of mass times acceleration
Any object in motion will continue to move in the same direction and speed unless forces act on it
Potential energy is stored energy

Law of Chance
Law of Energy
Law of Acceleration
Law of Inertia
What describes Newton's 2nd Law of Motion?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Force is equal to (the product) of mass times acceleration
Any object in motion will continue to move in the same direction and speed unless forces act on it
Potential energy is stored energy
What describes Newton's 3rd Law of Motion?
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
Force is equal to (the product) of mass times acceleration
Any object in motion will continue to move in the same direction and speed unless forces act on it
Potential energy is stored energy
What does F=MxA stand for?
form equals mass times action
force equals mass times ancient
force equals momentum times acceleration
force equals mass times acceleration
