Newton’s First Law
Every object will remain at rest or travel at
constant speed along a straight path
unless acted upon by an external force.
No force  Velocity is constant

Newton’s Second Law
• Acceleration = rate of change of velocity
(speed with direction)
• Force = a push or pull
• Mass = (on Earth) how heavy something is
force
acceleration 
mass
Newton’s Third Law
For every action (force) in nature there is an
equal and opposite reaction (force).
In other words, if object A exerts a force on
object B, then object B exerts an equal but
opposite force on object A.
Speed of the Earth Due to My Push
• 0.00000000000000000000003 m/s
At this rate of speed,
• 3000 billion billion years to rotate
