1st Law: An object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion unless acted on by an unbalanced force.
- This law is often called the "Law of Inertia".
- Take a look at the slow motion video below from our experiment in class

2nd Law: Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass.
- Equation: F = m x a
- More Mass = More Force Needed to Accelerate that object

3rd Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
