This document outlines Newton's three laws of motion and other key physics concepts. Newton's first law states that an object at rest stays at rest or an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. Newton's second law relates the net force acting on an object to its acceleration. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The law of universal gravitation states that a gravitational force attracts any two masses.

 Law of Inertia
 “A body remains at rest or moves in a
straight line at a constant speed
unless acted upon by a force.”
