Expert Solution
Step 1

Newton's first law:- of motion state that A body continue in its state of rest or uniform motion along a straight line unless acted upon by the external force.

Second law:- It state that the rate of change of linear momentum is proportional to the impressed force and takes place in the direction of the force.

                       Mathematically

                                  F = dPdt

It can be written as

                              F = ma

where m is the mass and a is acceleration
