The tendancy of an object to resist a change in motion.

Newton's first law of motion

If the net force acting on an object is zero, the motion of the object does not change.

When two objects exert forces on each other.

Newton's second law of motion

the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force applied to the object divided by the object's mass.
