📚 Part 1: Newton's Three Laws of Motion

First Law (Law of Inertia): Objects at rest stay at rest, and objects in motion stay in motion, unless acted upon by an outside force.

Second Law: The more force you apply to an object, the more it will accelerate. Heavier objects need more force to move.

Third Law: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
