Newton’s first law (law of inertia) states that a body continues in its state of rest or uniform motion unless an unbalanced force acts on it
Newton’s second law (law of momentum) the Newton’s second law states that “the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the applied force and takes place in the direction in which the force acts”
