Personal Physics Law of Inertia]

An object

Not subject to any net external force

Moves at a constant velocity

And thus will

Continue moving

At its current velocity

Until some force

Causes its speed

Or direction

To change

A special case, where

The base used

Is also an alkali

When an acid

An alkali

A metal salt

And

Water

Family Math Commutative Law of AdditionMultiplication]

Of its addends

A product

Is not changed at rearrangement

Of its factors
