Think of it like this-- what would hurt more: getting hit by a go kart at 10 miles per hour or a Mack Truck at 100 mph? The 2nd would hurt more because there is a lot more Force (more mass in the truck and more acceleration from the impact. Though the vehicles in my example are not accelerating your body would be because it would be going from zero to 10, or 100 mph instantly)

∙ 13y agoContrary to Newton's first law, there is a net force acting upon a body. Take this example:
A hockey puck is given a constant horizontal force in a specific direction. The net force is constant and moves in the same direction. Thus, the puck's velocity constantly changes thus having a constant acceleration. In conclusion, the net force on the puck causes it to accelerate in the same direction as the net force. The sum of all forces equals the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.

∙ 13y agoNewton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration, represents the relationship between force and change in velocity, or acceleration. The force then depends greatly on the change in velocity. When there is a change in the object's velocity or momentum, it is because it was accelerated or de-accelerated (change in velocity) due to some external force. This force would be equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the change in velocity (acceleration).

Is jumping on a trampoline an example of newtons third law of motion?
yes. newtons 3rd law is: "FOR EVERY ACTION THERE IS AN EQUAL AND OPPOSITE REACTION"
As newtons first law is the part of newtons second law then why you study newtons first law?
Its a matter of being scientifically rigorous. You can not claim the 2nd law as a law unless you first establish the first law.
What is the formula for newtons law of acceleration?
F = MA, where F is the force in newtons, M is the mass is kilograms, and A is the acceleration in m s-2.
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.
Is newtons first law false?
no

What is an example newtons third law?
If you hit someone they will hit you too :)
A sporting example of newtons 2nd law?
Inertia is a sporting example of newton's first law of motion.
As newtons first law is the part of newtons second law then why you study newtons first law?
Its a matter of being scientifically rigorous. You can not claim the 2nd law as a law unless you first establish the first law.
What does the universal law of gravitation sate?
It states newtons law of gravitation
How is a parked car an example of newtons first law?
it will stay at rest until acted upon by an outside force
What is the equation to represent the newtons second law?
F=ma Input: newtons second law at wolframalpha.com
What is an example of newtons second law referring to space?
An everyday event of Newtons second law is riding on a scooter. When you ride on a scooter, and you make your self go, but just let it go, the more mass that you have on the scooter, the greater distance it will go
What is the formula for newtons law of acceleration?
F = MA, where F is the force in newtons, M is the mass is kilograms, and A is the acceleration in m s-2.
