Newton's Three Laws

Newton's First Law
Example: You are in your car at a stop light When you accelerate a car from rest, the road provides an unbalanced force on the spinning wheels to push the car forward; yet the coffee (that was at rest) wants to stay at rest. While the car accelerates forward, the coffee remains in the same position and spills all over.

Examples: It is easier for a n adult to push an empty shopping cart than it is for a baby to push an empty shopping cart. The reason for this is because the adult can apply force greater than the mass of the shopping cart, but the baby is not able to exert enough force to move the mass of the shopping cart.

Example: If you take a deflated balloon and blow it up so it is completely full of air and you let it go the balloon is going to be pushed forward. The reason the balloon goes forward is because the air rushes out of the lose end and which causes the balon to go forward.
