An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force

Newton's First Law of Motion

Force is the product of mass and acceleration

Newton's Second Law of Motion

For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction

Newton's Third Law of Motion

Who was the scientist who gave us the Laws of Motion

Sir Isaac Newton

When the forces on an object are pushing or pulling harder in one direction than in another, causing movement.

unbalanced force

Which Law explains how rockets are launched into space?

balanced force

Something that does work or causes a change; push or pull

force

a force that opposes motion or slows objects down
