The invisible role of Newton s Three Laws in everyday life You may not have noticed it

Here are some examples of Newton's three laws in everyday life:

When the car comes to a sudden stop, the passengers in the car rush forward because their bodies want to maintain their original motion (forward motion) while the car has stopped.

When you are standing on a moving bus, if the bus makes a sudden turn, you will feel a force to push outward, and this is because your body wants to continue moving in the direction of motion in the original straight line.

Similarly, forces acting on objects of different masses produce different accelerations. For example, the acceleration produced by the same magnitude of wind on a leaf and a large tree is significantly different.

Throwing a basketball and a ping pong ball, the acceleration of the basketball will be smaller than that of a table tennis ball due to its large mass and the same force.

Illustrates that the acceleration of an object is inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force exerted.

When you jump while standing on a trampoline, your body exerts force downwards, and the trampoline exerts an equal amount of reaction force upwards to enable you to jump.

While rowing, you paddle backwards, and the water reacts forward to the oars, propelling the boat forward.
