An object at rest remains at rest, and an object in motion remains in motion at constant speed and in a straight line unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
Newton's 2nd Law of motion states
the greater the mass of an object, the greater the force needed to change its motion.
Newton's 3rd Law of motion states
"for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction,"
