1st Law- An object at rest tends to stay at rest, while an object in motion tends to stay in motion










2nd Law- The acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass of the object. The acceleration of an object depends directly upon the net force acting upon the object, and inversely upon the mass of the object. As the force acting upon an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is increased. As the mass of an object is increased, the acceleration of the object is decreased. In other words, F=ma.















3rd Law-  For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.



If Newton's Third Law did not apply, then if we impacted a wall, we would be able to phase right through it, like the girl in this video clip:
