Identify Newton's Three Laws. Newton's First Law an object will remain at rest or in equilibrium unless acted on by an external force Newton's Second Law the sum of all forces acting on an object (within a plane) equals the object's mass multiplied by its acceleration: F = ma Newton's Third Law every force has an equal and opposite reaction
