NEWTON’S LAWS OF MOTION

1st Law:
An object will remain at rest or in uniform
motion in a straight line unless acted upon by
an external force.
Example: If a stationary football is on the
ground, it’ll not start moving without an
external force. We need to provide it with a
force to have the object start moving
2nd Law:
F=ma
Example: If you use the same force to push a
truck and push a car, the car will have more
acceleration than the truck, because the car
has less mass.
3rd Law:
For every action, there is an equal and
opposite reaction.
Example: when you jump, your legs apply a
force to the ground, and the ground applies
and equal and opposite reaction force that
propels you into the air.
