| + | These two equations can be substituted together to solve for mass, velocity, force, or time given the other three (i.e. $m\Delta v = Ft$). | ||

| The third law states that for every force there is an equal and opposite force. This applies to momentum aswell, however instead of forces it is momentum impulses that hold an equal and opposite reaction. | The third law states that for every force there is an equal and opposite force.
