| Newtons fundamental laws of motion: | interia, force, action/reaction |

| Newtons first fundamental law: (simple) | If no force acts on an object, there will be no acceleration.. once in motion however, it will continue to move forever, even when the pushing force is removed, unless an opposing force is present. |
| Newtons second law: | Force- the force (F) that acts on an object is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied by the acceleration (a) produced. (If a body of mass has an acceleration, then the force on it is given by the mass times the acceleration) |
| Newtons third law: | Action/reaction- for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. ("action" was newtons word for "force".. if you push on a heavy block, the block will push back with same force you apply) |
