Newton’s Laws of Motion

Things to remember

• Newton’s first law states that ‘everybody continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless an unbalanced force acts on it.'
• Newton’s second law of motion states that, ‘acceleration produced in a body is directly proportional to the force applied to it in the direction of motion and inversely proportional to its mass.’
• Newton’s third law of motion states that ‘to every action there is equal and opposite reaction.’
