12. The Second Law The change in motion is proportional to the motive force impressed and is made in the direction of the straight line in which that force is impressed The change in motion is proportional to the motive force impressed and is made in the direction of the straight line in which that force is impressed (F = ma) (F = ma)

13. The Third Law To every action there is always an opposed and equal reaction. To every action there is always an opposed and equal reaction.
