– First Law of Motion: An object remains in a state of rest or of uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change that state by an applied force. This is also known as the law of inertia【4:0†source】.

– Second Law of Motion: The rate of change of momentum of an object is proportional to the applied unbalanced force in the direction of force, expressed as F = ma【4:4†source】.

– Momentum: The momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity, having the same direction as that of the velocity. Its SI unit is kg m s^-1. Momentum has both direction and magnitude .

– Third Law of Motion: To every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, and they act on two different bodies. Action and reaction forces are always equal in magnitude but opposite in direction .
