|---|---|
 Newton's 1st law | the state of motion of an object does not change unless as long as the net force acting on it is zero |
| inertia | the tendency of an object to resist a change in motion |
| Newton's second law | Force = mass x acceleration |
| mass | a measure of the inertia of an object and depends on the amount of matter in the object |
| weight | the force of gravity acting on an object |
| Newton's third Law | for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction |
| momentum | the product of a body's mass and its velocity |
