Newton's first law equation
Fnet = ma = 0
-
Newton's first law:
A body either at rest or in motion with constant velocity will remain that way unless a net force acts upon it.
-
Newton's first law is also known as the _____ and can be thought of as a special case of _____
law of inertia
Newton’s second law
-
Newton’s second law
An object of mass m will accelerate when the vector sum of the forces results in some nonzero resultant force vector.
The direction of the force vector and resultant acceleration are the same
-
Newton’s second law equation
Fnet = ma
-
Newton’s third law
To every action, there is always an opposed but equal reaction
More formally, the law states that for every force exerted by object A on object B, there is an equal but opposite force exerted by object B on object A.

Newton’s third law equation
FAB = –FBA
