Newton's Laws of Motion

You can predict, calculate, and describe motion if you understand Newton's Laws.

Motion Laws
1st - An object in motion stays in motion. An object at rest remains at rest.  Motion only changes when another force is exerted upon the object. What pictures can you create to make sense of this law?

2nd - Force is equal to the mass and the acceleration of an object. What pictures can you create to make sense of this law?

3rd - For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.What pictures can you create to make sense of this law?
