Answer

Newton's three laws are: 

(1) Law of Inertia an object remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a force

(2) Law of Acceleration force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma), meaning greater force produces greater acceleration

(3) Law of Action Reaction for every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. 

These laws form the foundation of classical mechanics and explain everything from why seatbelts save lives to how rockets propel through space.
