Newton's 1st Law of motion
A object can't move unless another object uses force against it.
Inertia is the resistance of any physical object to any change in its state of motion including changes to its speed and direction or the state of rest. It is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line at constant velocity.
Newton's second law of motion
The steeper a ramp is, the more acceleration a object has.
Some examples are an object going down a ramp, an object going up a ramp, and object being pushed, an object being puled, and an object being thrown.
F=MxA
Acceleration is the increase in speed of an object.
In football, if you're a lineman, you have to push the opposing players to protect your Quarterback. While you're pushing the opposing player back you're applying a certain amount of newtons to do so. So in other words, you're forcing them back and making them accelerate.
Newton's 3rd law of motion
If you push a object, the object basically pushes you back. Due to Newton's 3rd law of motion.
So say I step off a boat onto a dock, the boat is going to have a equal-opposite force. So it's going to either push away or shake when me or anyone steps off onto he dock. Due to Newton's 3rd law of motion.
