Newton's Second Law

the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object, is in the direction of the net force

Newton's Laws

laws that deal with inertia, force and acceleration, and forces occur in pairs

Newton's first law

a statement about the inertia of objects to change their state of motion; objects at rest remain at rest unless some force makes them move

Newton's second law

the most important relation in mechanics; a quantitative relation between F and a, F = ma; with the help of this law, we can define m and F

Newton's third law

all forces occur in pairs, and the interacting bodies exert an equal and opposite force on each other
