What are the 3 Laws of Newtonian Mechanics

In the first law, an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. In the second law, the force on an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. In the third law, when two objects interact, they apply forces to each other of equal magnitude and opposite direction

(1) Every object moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force

(2) The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted and inversely proportional to the object's mass.

(3) For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Explanation:

Examples of Newton's 3rd Law  When you jump off a small rowing boat into water, you will push yourself forward towards the water. The same force you used to push forward will make the boat move backwards.  When air rushes out of a balloon, the opposite reaction is that the balloon flies up

a.) travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.

air is a gas water is a liquid
