Newton's Laws of Motion have everything to do with gymnastics. AS far as I can recall the laws are: # A body at rest remains at rest until acted on by an outside or extermal force. An object in motion remains in motion until acted on by an outside or external force. # The force of an object is equal to it's mass times acceleration. # For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. A gymnasts' body is subject to the laws fo gravity and motion. A gymnast that is perfoming an aerial skill cannot remain in the air indefinitely because gravity prevents their body from remaining in the air for more than a few seconds. Gravity is the outside force acting on the gymnast's body (object in motion). Friction and other forms of resistence have to be taken into consideration when teaching and practicing gymnastics skills that involve flipping or swinging high off the ground. Gymnastics coaches need to understand how the laws of motion and physics affects a gymnastics performance so they can adapt their teaching to take advantage of these laws if possible.

newton's second law states that the greater an object's mass is the more force needed to accelerate the object. So adding more force to the Golf ball would be necessary to get it to accelerate in the direction you want it to move.

A good example of newtons 3rd law in gymnastics is on the vaulting horse. When a gymnast does a flip, he pushes down on the horse as the action. As the reaction, the vault pushes him up to complete the flip.

an object either remains at rest or continues to move at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force . the main external force on a skydivers is gravity and drag from wind resistance

How does newtons third law apply to gymnastics?

The third law of motion states "To every action there is always opposed and equal reaction" In Gymnastics this would be useful in jumping (the force against the ground produces an equal and opposite force to lift the gymnast), lifting (the partner moves away from the lifters push), throwing balls or other objects, etc.
