[explain these]

Explain the law: The first law of motion “Law of Inertia” states, “an object at rest will remain at
rest, and an object in motion will continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed unless
acted upon by an external force”

How is it used in the real life world? examples of newton's first law includes:
- A ball rolling on a flat surface will keep on running unless an outside force stops it.
- A car moving down the highway will remain in motion unless some external force
changes its speed.
- A book placed on a table will remain there unless someone displaces it.

Explain the law: The second law of motion is represented by the equation F = ma
It states, “ that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it
and inversely proportional to its mass”

Force = mass x acceleration mass is amount of matter


Newton's second law of motion states that F = ma, or net force is equal to mass times
acceleration.

How is it used in the real life world? Examples of newton's first law includes:
- A car that weighs 2,500 pounds will be easier to push than a truck weighing 6,000
pounds if the same amount of force is used.
- A bicycle will accelerate if you push on the pedals. If you apply more force to the pedals,
you will be increasing the bicycle’s speed.
- A rocket that needs to slow down, speed up, or change direction will use force coming
from the engine to give it a push. The amount of the force or its location can change the
speed or the direction of the rocket.

Explain the law: Newton’s third law is all about equal but opposite reaction. The third law of
motion states, “ that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction”

How is it used in the real life world? Examples of newton's first law includes:
- Throwing a punch at the wall – the harder you hit a wall, the greater the impact on your
fist, resulting in a greater amount of pain you feel. This is because the force applied by
the wall on your fist is equal and opposite to your force.
- Jumping off the ground – the more force your legs use to kick off the ground, the higher
your jump will be. This is because the ground produces an opposite and equal reaction
to power your jump.
