A body remains at rest, or moves in a straight line (at aconstant velocity), unless acted upon by a net outside force.The law of inertia did not originate with Newton, nevertheless it is integral to his system of mechanics. An object in motion will remain in motion unless something acts upon it. Because a planet is moving in an ellipse (i.e. not a straight line) this law states that there must be some “force” acting upon the planet. If there were no force, the planet would fly off in a straight line.

The acceleration of an object is proportional to theforce acting upon it.The first law says that if no force is acting on an object, it will remain in motion. The second law tells how the motion will change when a force acts upon the object. Velocity is how fast an object is moving (speed or magnitude) and the direction it is moving. Acceleration is a change in velocity. An accelerating object can either change how fast it is moving, the direction it is moving, or both.

For every action, there is an equal and oppositereaction.The law can be more fully stated as, “Whenever one body exerts force upon a second body, the second body exerts an equal and opposite force upon the first body.” That is, when the sun pulls on a planet with the force of gravity, the planet pulls on the sun with a force of equal magnitude. But, because the sun is so much more massive than the planet, Newton's second law says that the sun will experience much less acceleration.
