Aristotle claimed that the speed of a falling object depends on its weight. We now know that objects in free fall, whatever their weights, undergo the same gain in speed. Why does weight not affect acceleration?
An object at rest remains at rest. An object in motion remains in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. This describes Newton's

C
d
first law of motion.
second law of motion.
third law of motion.
first and third laws of motion.
A common saying goes, “It’s not the fall that hurts you; it’s the sudden stop.” Translate this into Newton’s laws of motion.
