• Newton's First Law (also known as the Law of
  Inertia) states that an object at rest tends to
  stay at rest and that an object in uniform motion
  tends to stay in uniform motion unless acted upon
  by a net external force.
• Newton's Second Law states that an applied force,
  F, on an object equals the time rate of change of
  its momentum, p. Mathematically, this is written
  as Assuming the mass to be constant, the first
  term vanishes. Defining the acceleration to be
  results in the famous equation which states that
  the acceleration of an object is directly
  proportional to the magnitude of the net force
  acting on the object and inversely proportional
  to its mass. In the MKS system of measurement,
  mass is given in kilograms, acceleration in
  meters per second squared, and force in newtons.
• Newton's Third Law states that for every action
  there is an equal and opposite reaction.
