Newton's Laws of Motion
Sir Isaac Newton lived during the 1600s. Like all scientists, he made observations about the world around him. Some of his observations were about motion. His observations have been supported by more data over time; and we now call these Newton's Laws of Motion . His laws of motion explain rest, constant motion, accelerated motion, and describe how balanced and unbalanced forces act to cause these states of motion.
Newton's First Law: Inertia
Inertia means that an object in motion will stay in motion in the same direction, or will stay at rest, unless another force acts upon it. For an object to change direction or stop moving, something has to overcome inertia.

Newton’s Second Law: Acceleration
Acceleration is a change in velocity. That means acceleration can mean a change in speed or direction. Acceleration can be thought of as an object’s change in velocity over time.
