55
What is Newton's 1st Law
an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an outside force
56
What is Newton's 2nd Law
the amount of acceleration an object has depends on the force put om an object and the object's mass
57
What is Newton's 3rd Law
for every action force there is an equal but opposite reaction
