Newtons law of motion
An object stay at rest stay at rest, an object stay in motion remain in motion
Law of inertia (1st law)
Relates mass force and acceleration
Law of acceleration (2nd law)
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
Law of interaction (3rd law)
Shift from agrarian and handcraft based economies to industrial and mechanized industry.
