State the first law of motion
Inertia
or
An object in motion tends to stay in motion and an object at rest tends to stay at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
State the second law of motion
F=ma
or
Force equals mass times acceleration.
State the third law of motion
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
