The man, whom is projected forward after hitting the brick wall, is a prime example of Newton's first law of motion. The man's body was moving alonge with the car; when the car hits the wall the man's body tends to continue motion in the same direction. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Newton's 2nd Law! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The force of an object equals that of the mass of the object mutiplied by the accelerationof the object. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Or in other words the formula F=ma | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For example if an object with a mass of 100kg is accelerating at 4m/s2 the force that the object exerted is 400N. |

Newton's 3rd Law | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
A force is always an interaction betwween two material objects. |

The airplane exerts a Force on the glidder causing it to accelerate. The glider in turn exerts a force on the airplane. There are, of course, additional forces present such as the propeller force and air drag on both planes | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
For example: my truck is out of gas so I am going to push my truck to the gas station. But because of my stupididity I put roller blades on because I can go faster on roller blades. and when I exert a force on the van it exerts a force on me. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
