Newton's First and Second Law of Motion

Newton's First Law:
- Inertia
  -> Object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an external force
  -> Object in motion stays in motion with the same velocity unless acted upon by an external force
- Force
  -> Balanced forces
  -> Unbalanced forces

Newton's Second Law:
- Acceleration
  -> F = m * a
  -> Force is directly proportional to mass and acceleration
- Mass
  -> Measure of inertia
  -> Resistance to change in motion
- Acceleration
  -> Change in velocity over time
  -> Result of unbalanced forces acting on an object

Connections:
- Inertia relates to both laws
- Newton's Second Law builds upon the concepts of force and inertia from the First Law
- Acceleration is a central concept in both laws
