Definition
A force is a push or a pull and is a vector (like velocity, displacement, and acceleration). Mass is a property of matter that determines how difficult it is for an object to speed up or slow down and is a scalar. |

Definition
An object at a state of rest or in a state of motion at a constant speed along a straight line unless compelled to change that state by a net force. IN OTHER WORDS... F=0 iff the object is at rest or in motion at a constant velocity (a=0) |

Definition
When a net external force ΣF acts on an object of mass m, the acceleration that results is directly proportional to the net force and has a magnitude that is inversely proportional to the mass. IN OTHER WORDS... ΣF=ma |

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, a force in a action-reaction pair is equal to the force pushing against it. F12=F21 |
