Newton's Law of motion

Newton's laws of motion help us to understand how objectives behave when they are standing still,when they are moving,and when forces act upon them.There are Three laws of motion.

Newton's First law of motion : 

                   Newton's first law of motion states that an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless an external force acts upon it.

             Similarly, if the object is at rest,it will remain at rest unless an unbalanced force acts upon it.Newton's first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia.

Newton's Second law of motion : 

Newton's second law of motion states that when a force acts on an object,it will cause the object to accelerate.

Newton's Third law of motion : 

Newton's Third law of motion states that for every action ,there is an equal and opposite reaction.
