In the 17th century, Isaac Newton formalised three laws of motion which describe how bodies react to forces.
Newton's first law of motion states that an object without a resultant exerted force will  remain at rest or at constant velocityundergo circular motionremain at restundergo simple harmonic motion.
Newton's second law of motion states that the resultant force exerted on a body is  proportional toless thanperpendicular togreater than that body's acceleration. This can also be expressed as  F = m + aF = maF = m - aF = √(ma).
Newton's third law of motion states that any force on a body will result in  an equal, opposite and different type ofan equal, opposite and similara different type ofan increasing force being exerted by the body.

Momentum is an important quantity when discussing motion. The total momentum of a closed system is always conserved, no matter the collisions and interactions that occur within that system. Momentum is given by the equation  p = mvp = Δ(mv)p = m ÷ vp = m - v.
The  change of momentum ofchange in potential energy offorce exerted onrate of change of momentum of a body during a collision is called the impulse of the collision.
Force exerted on a body is equal to the  change in potential energy ofrate of change of momentum ofdistance moved bytotal momentum of a body.
Collisions in which kinetic energy is conserved are called  inelasticelasticfastslow collisions, and when kinetic energy is not conserved they are called  non-kineticwastedinelasticelastic collisions.
