Newton's third law states "For every action the is an equal and opposite reaction. for example: when two skaters are coming toward each at the same direction but exert opposite forces when in contact. although they are in the same direction there acceleration is much different

What do newtons laws have to do with lacrosse?

Newtons laws have to do with lacrosse when (in guys lacrosse) you push the other player, which relates to newtons 2nd law, the larger the mass the harder the acceleration. Also, newtons 1st law involves throwing and catching a ball, newtons law says and object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force. The object in motion is the ball and the outside force is the other person catching it, stopping the motion. Newtons third law relates to lacrosse when you make a shot and hit the post causing it to bounce off. The 3rd law states for every action theres an equal and opposite reaction. The reaction is the ball flying off the post.


There is no motion when forces acting on an object are?

An object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force - newtons 1st law of motion. It will stay at rest If no force is applied. Also if equal and opposite forces are applied (balanced) to a resting object it will remain at rest also - every action has an equal and opposite reaction - newtons 3rd law of motion


Is canoeing part of any newtons law of motion?

Canoeing is an example of Newton's 3rd Law of Motion. The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Paddling in canoeing exhibits this law.
