Newton's laws are a set of three laws that describe the behavior of objects when subject to forces.
- In the absence of external forces, an object at rest will remain at rest. An object in motion will remain in motion with constant velocity.
- For an object of constant mass over time, its acceleration is proportional to the force and inversely proportional to its mass .If the mass changes over time, a more general statement iswhere the force causes a change of linear momentum in time.
- If a force is exerted on an object, there is a force of equal magnitude but opposite direction on some other body that interacts with it.
