Newton's law of motion comparison table

Subject has definition

Newton's first law Newton's law which states that a body remains in a state of rest or uniform motion when left to itself.

Newton's second law Newton's law which states that the net force on a body is equal to the product of its mass and its acceleration.

Newton's third law Newton's law which states that when two bodies interact, the force on the first due to the second is equal and opposite to the force on the second due to the first.
