Newton's three laws of motion describe the fundamental principles governing the behavior of objects. The first law, often called the law of inertia, states that an object will remain at rest or move at a constant speed unless acted upon by an external force.
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
A fireman turns on his hose & is knocked backwards
If air is let out of a balloon quickly, air pushes down & balloon goes up
2nd Law
F=MxA
Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).
Push a large box & a small box with the same force, the small box will go faster
You have to push a heavy ball harder to get it to move as fast as a small one

Also referred as Inertia.
If an object is not moving
or moving at a constant speed,
the object will stay the way until
something moves or stops the
object.
A soccer ball will not move until a player kicks it
seatbelt stops you from hitting the windshield if you hit the brakes quickly
