Newtons Laws
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion
stays in motion with the same speed and direction

The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to
the magnitude of the net force and inversely proportional to the mass of an object
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
