Newton's Laws of Motion Summary

Inertia is the inability of material body to change, by itself, its state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line.

Mass is a measure of inertia

Newton's first law of motion: A body continues in its state of rest or of uniform motion along a straight line unless an external unbalanced force acts on it.

Newton's second law of motion: The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the impressed force and acts in the direction in which the force acts.

Newton's third law of motion: To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Action and reaction forces act on different bodies.

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of the body.
