Newton's First Law of Motion
an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by another force
Image: Newton's First Law of Motion
Inertia
(physics) the tendency of a body to maintain is state of rest or uniform motion unless acted upon by an external force
Image: Inertia
Newton's Second Law of Motion
states that the acceleration of an object is in the same direction as the net force on the object
