Isaac Newton's Three Laws

Newton’s Laws Sir Isaac Newton created his three laws in 1686 when he was only 43 years old. The three laws that he created were, 1) An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force. 2) F=ma, and 3) Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Without these three laws there would be a huge misunderstanding in how things move, rise, and fall. Every time you hit a ball or bounce on a trampoline you are using one of Newton’s three laws.
Newton’s first law is “an object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an outside force.” (Newton’s first law) This law means that a bowling ball will keep rolling until an outside interferes like a wall. Another way to explain this law would be when you get the ketchup. You typically would shake it because even though you move the bottle and stop the ketchup still flows to now what would be the bottom because the bottle is upside down. This is a good example because the ketchup is going to be in motion until it hits the bottom of the bottle which is the outside force acting on the ketchup. You could also demonstrate this law by flipping yourself upside down on the couch. …show more content…
A good example of this would be of you were to watch Newton’s cradle. When you release that ball it hits the other balls transferring the force to the end ball causing it to react with the same amount of force. Another example would be if you were to bounce on a trampoline you are exerting a downward force on the trampoline. The trampoline is exerting the same amount of force on you causing you to go back up. Lastly another great example of this law is when a car’s wheels spin they push the road backwards with the same amount of force the road pushes the car
