Newton’s second law of motion: Law of acceleration Newton’s second law states that acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass of the object being accelerated, more force is needed to accelerate that object and that is inversely proportional to the mass.
The equation f = ma.  For example, to throw a four kilogram shot put as far as three kilogram shot put, the force applied must be greater 

Newton’s third law of motion: The law of action and reaction. It states that for every force that is exerted on the body there is an equal and opposite reaction.
