Newton’s Laws of Motion describes the relations between the forces acting on a body and the motion of the body, first formulated by English physicist and mathematician Isaac Newton, which were first stated by Isaac Newton in his Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy, first published in 1687. Newton’s first law: the law of inertia - 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 second law: F = ma - the acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied; Newton’s third law: the law of action and reaction - whenever one object exerts a force on another object, the second object exerts an equal and opposite on the first.
