How would Newtons laws of motion apply to a leaf that is being blown away by the wind?

The wind is blowing with so much force that the leaf doesn't have enough strength to withstand it, therefore the wind slows down a little but still retains its forward motion.
Another example is when you punch a brittle wall. If you hit it with enough force it will break and your fist will go through and keep its forward motion, albeit a little slower.

∙ 13y agothere are 3 laws of motion, but i assume you mean action and reaction. I was confused as well, but the force is the same of the wind and the leaf. Because the leaf is so small, its force doesnt compare, but it is equal to the wind.

∙ 15y agoThe force of the wind on the leaf interacts with the force of the weight of the leaf and the leaf's wind resistance to move the leaf around erratically.

What is a brown fuse and why should you never replace one with a penny?
I believe the question should be what is a BLOWN fuse and why should you never replace it with a penny? A blown fuse would be one that has been over stressed and has burnt out or blown out to protect the wiring or other part of the circuit. A penny would bypass the fuse which is the safety measure in the circuit. Bypassing a fuse could cause a fire or serious damage to the device.

What does it mean when cylinder 6 is miss firing?
Bad spark plug and or plug wire. Possibly burnt valve or blown head gasket. And if the engine is mulit-point fuel injected, a malfunctioning injector. A compression test will eliminate a burnt valve or blown head gasket.
What would be the direction of the acceleration of a balloon if the balloon were being blown westward with the net force still acting vertically upward?
The direction of acceleration would be vertically upward, since the net force is acting in that direction. The horizontal motion of the balloon being blown westward does not affect the acceleration in the vertical direction.

The sentence "trees were being blown over by the wind" is in passive voice because the subject (trees) is receiving the action (being blown over) rather than performing the action.
Is a floating leaf said to be in motion with respect to a stream?
Yes, a floating leaf is in motion with respect to a stream because it moves along with the water current. The leaf may appear stationary relative to the surrounding water and riverbank, but it is actually traveling with the flow of the stream.

How do you create the illusion of motion on a two-dimensional surface?
When drawing the motion of say a flag, you first draw a rectangle on a slight angle facing away from the wind and pointing slightly down. you then add in the curves and folds of the flag and shade (render) just where the shadows would be. by adding the curved look of the folds in a slightly irregular pattern, the flag looks like it is being blown about.
