Newton's laws of motion are three physical laws that, together, laid the foundation for classical mechanics. They describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it, and its motion in response to those forces.

These three laws have been expressed in several ways, over nearly three centuries, and can be summarised as follows:
