Well, I understand the first one easily, that an object will not move unless there is a force moving it.
Can somebody explain The Three Laws (or the second two) in a simplified manner? I want to be able to understand them before I write about them.

Fist law:

An object will move forever until a forces acts against it.

Second law:

The net force on an object is its mass multiplied by its acceleration. Its merely an equation.

Third law:

When applying a force, an equal and opposite force will be applied on you that has the same magnitude as the force you applied.
