First Law: A car will continue to move forward in a straight line at a constant speed unless the driver applies the brakes to stop it.
Second Law: When a person pushes a shopping cart with a certain force, the cart will accelerate in the direction of the force applied. The heavier the items in the cart, the more force is needed to accelerate it.
Third Law: When a person jumps off a diving board, the force exerted by their feet pushing down on the board causes an equal and opposite reaction force that propels them up into the air.
Provide a real world example of each of Newton’s Laws
First Law: Every object moves in a straight line unless acted upon by a force.
Second Law: The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force exerted and inversely proportional to the object's mass.
Third Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
