Newton's first law states that this ball will stay here until another force affects it.
Newton's first law is also known as the law of inertia, inertia describes how much an object like my soccer ball will resist change to the motion of an object.
It also states that the ball will stay in motion until an unbalanced force acts on it.
An unbalance force could be me kicking the ball.
Motion is the phenomenon in which an object changes its position.

But what if you wanted to calculate the speed of the soccer ball.
To do this we can find the distance the ball traveled and the time it took to stop.
The formula for this is speed = distance over time, to make this easier we can use a reference point such as the goal or a nearby tree.

Newton's second law states that when a force is applied to an action it causes the object to accelerate.
Acceleration is the increase or rate of the speed of something like a soccer ball.
Eventually no matter how hard I kick this soccer ball it will stop because of the friction on the ground and the air.
Things become harder to accelerate when they have larger mass, mass is how much matter an object has this is why its easier to move a soccer ball than a goal.

Newton's second law also has many other forms to measure it like speed and velocity
When I kick the ball it creates speed and velocity.
Speed is the just the rate at which something is traveling, velocity is very similar to this but it includes the direction the object is going.

Similar to a reference point a frame of reference is anything you see while in motion, so when I run down the field a frame of reference could be the people watching the game.
Displacement is another way to measure only the distance and direction.
Possible directions could be North, East, South, and West.

Finally newton's third law states that for every action there is and equal and opposite reaction.
This is shown when I use my head to hit the ball.
Since my head is applying force to the ball the ball applies the same amount of force back, this is why sometimes after I hit the ball my head hurts.
