Newton also developed the three laws of motion that form the principles of basic physics. The three laws of Newton are mentioned below,
Newton’s First law
Every object in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it
Newton’s Second law
The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma. Acceleration and force are vectors (as indicated by their symbols being displayed in slant bold font); in this law, the direction of the force vector is the same as the direction of the acceleration vector
Newton’s Third Law
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
