- First Law: The law States that an object in motion will stay in motion as long as there is no unbalanced force acting on it. If a force acts on the object, the object will change speed or direction.
E.G. When a car with luggage that is not properly tied on its top has to suddenly stop, only the car will stop but the rope doesn't provide enough force to stop the luggage from moving therefore causing it to continue moving seeing that there is no unbalanced force acting on it. We humans however are stopped by the seatbelt which provides enough force to stop us from moving.
- Second Law: The law States that if an unbalanced force is acting on an object it will cause it to accelerate in the direction of that force.
E.G. If a person on roller skates is pushed by another person, the person on roller skates will start accelerate in the direction that his partner pushed him to( applied unbalanced force).
- Third Law: Forces always occur in equal or opposite pairs. A moving object will apply force to a stationery object and will cause itself to move corresponding to the amount of force applied.
E.G. If a person is sitting on a wheeled chair(moving object) and pushes his desk(stationery object), he would receive the same amount of force from his desk causing him to move corresponding to the amount of force he had applied.
