Physics - Newton, Motion, and Gravity

AB
Newton's First Law is also calledThe Law of Inertia
Newton's Second Law is also calledThe Law of Acceleration
Newton's Third Law is also calledThe Law of Interaction
Newton's First Law statesAn object in motion stays in motion, an object at rest stays at rest, unless acted on by a force.
Newton's Second Law statesF=ma
Newton's Third Law statesFor every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
displacementmovement from one point to another
velocitythe time rate of displacement
accelerationthe time rate of change in velocity
gthe acceleration due to gravity at Earth's surface, 9.80 m/s/s
Gthe universal gravitation constant
