An object at rest remains at rest and an object in motion remains in motion at a constant speed in a straight line (constant velocity) unless acted on by unbalanced forces. (An object continues in uniform motion in a straight line or at rest unless a resultant (net) external force acts on it.). When unbalanced forces act on an object, the object will accelerate in the direction of the resultant (net) force. The acceleration will be directly proportional to the net force and inversely proportional to the object s mass. (The resultant force on an object is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the object.) 3. For every action on one object, there is an equal and opposite reaction on another object. (When two bodies A and B interact, the force that A exerts on B is equal and opposite to the force that B exerts on A.) 3 4
