Answer

First Law: The momentum of an object will remain the same if there is no net external force exerted on the object. Second Law: An object's change in momentum is equal to the net force exerted on the object multiplied by the time that the force is applied. Third Law: If object A causes a change in momentum to object B, then object B causes an equal and opposite change in momentum to object A.

Work Step by Step

Newton's three laws of motion can be stated in terms of momentum: First Law: The momentum of an object will remain the same if there is no net external force exerted on the object. Second Law: An object's change in momentum is equal to the net force exerted on the object multiplied by the time that the force is applied. Third Law: If object A causes a change in momentum to object B, then object B causes an equal and opposite change in momentum to object A.
