A object in motion (or at rest) will tend to stay in motion (or at rest) until it is acted upon by an outside force.
|
|
Newton's law of force
|
When an object is acted on by one or more outside forces, the total force is equal to the mass of the object times the resulting acceleration.
|
|

|
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
