Real Life Application

Newton's Three Laws In Real Life:

These three laws apply in most scenarios. For example, a person running in the park can apply to all three. If the person is running at a constant rate, it demonstrates the first law that states an object in motion will stay in motion unless something interferes. If the person is accelerating, the force is based off of mass and the rate of acceleration. If a person has a mass of 65 kg and is accelerating at a rate of 2.6 meters per second, the equation F=ma tells us that the force exerted is 169 N. And lastly, when the person is running, the ground gives off the same amount of force as the person.
