Answer
Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia): An object at rest stays at rest, and an object in motion stays in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force.
Newton's Second Law (F = ma): The force acting on an object euals its mass multiplied by its acceleration. This law explains how the velocity of an object changes when it's subjected to an external force.
Newton's Third Law (Action-Reaction): For every action, there is an eual and opposite reaction. When one object exerts a force on another, the second object exerts an eual force in the opposite direction.
