Law of Inertia

A person sitting in a vehicle at rest has his whole body at rest. When the vehicle suddenly starts moving forward, the lower part of in contact with the vehicle moves forward. But the upper part of the body continues too remain at rest due to inertia. As a result, the person has a tendency to fall back.

Law of Inertia

The coin drops into the tumbler. When we flick the cardboard the cardboard moves fast whereas the coin continues in its state of rest and hence drops into the tumbler.

Law of Inertia

A roller coaster has inertia. When it starts a drop it wants to continue moving in the same direction at a constant speed. It doesn't however because the tracks act as an outside force and change the roller coaster car's direction.
Law of Acceleration

We see in the picture that the boy that pulls the heavier stone is more force exert. Heavier objects need more force.

Law of Acceleration

The boy needs more force to accelerate faster the object. The more force you exert, the more acceleration.

Law of Acceleration

We see in the picture that the fat boy is suffering, so, it stayed that heavy mass will move slower and need more force than to a light mass.

Law of interaction

When you strike the nail with a hammer, the hammer exerts a downward force on the nail. The nail in turn, also exerts a force on the hammer.

Law of interaction

The forward movement of the rocket is the reaction force. The expulsion of exhaust gases from the rear is the action force.
Law of interaction

The boy hits the ball and the ball hits the bat, then they go in opposite direction

    Newtons First Law states that objects at rest will stay at rest and objects in motion will stay in motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. In this experiment the rocket would not have moved unless there was not an outside force. The outside force was alma-seltzer and water mixed together.…

    The stones (and bodies) were thrown by the trebuchet using gravity. Gravity is defined as the force of attraction by which terrestrial bodies tend to fall toward the center of the earth. In other words, gravity is what keeps people and objects on the ground! So, if gravity keeps things on the ground, how did people use a trebuchet to throw things? The answer is very simple--they used a “counter-weight.”…

    Newton’s First Law of Motion explains that objects in a state of uniform motion tends to remain in rest unless an external force is applied to it. Galileo’s concept of inertia is termed “Law of Inertia”. Law of Inertia, an object in motion will continue in the same motion unless acted by an outside force. Aircraft in flight is an example of First Law of Motion, four forces on an aircraft; lift, weight, thrust, and a drag. Consider the motion of an aircraft at constant altitude, we can neglect the lift and weight, a cruising aircraft at constant speed and the thrust balances the drag of the aircraft. This is the first part sited in Newton’s First Law; there is no net force on the airplane and it travels at a constant velocity in a straight line.…

    These laws helped others create several inventions and expanded the world's view on mechanics. For example, many amusement park rides began from Newton's laws of motion, roller coasters and Ferris wheels. One law states that an object in motion will say in that motion, unless acted on by an external force. For example, a roller coaster is made with hills so that the motion of the roller coaster won't be stopped by friction till the ride is over. Another law states that an object's acceleration is determined on the amount of force and the mass of the object. For example, if a person kicked a brick wall, it wouldn't move, but if the person kicked a balloon, it would move. Another example of the law is inside an engine; when the gasoline explodes in the cylinder of an engine, the force of the explosion forces the piston to move, which projects the machine in a direction. The final law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. For example, a bird flies because it's wings push the air down, forcing the bird up into the air. An example of an invention for this law is the invention of rockets. A rocket is projected forward by an engine, while pushing the flames and exhaust backwards. These laws also helped English inventors create new inventions: the first internal combustion engine, the first electrical generator, the linear motor, the hydraulic crane, the…
