Newton developed the principles of modern physics. He created the three laws of motion popular in the world of science and our daily lives (Issac Newton Biography). Newton’s first law states that an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by another force.The second law states acceleration occurs when a force acts on an object. The higher the mass the more force needed. And†¦show more content†¦Your hand creates a new force, which makes the first two unbalanced. Or if say your dog knocked the cup off the surface, it would also be disrupting the forces. Anything that is a new force and comes in contact with it will unbalance it. A second example of this first law is another everyday object, a car. However this one is actually creating a force, not just being controlled by them. When a car is moving down a r oad it is pushing against the road and the road is also pushing it back. If the driver keeps their foot on the gas pedal it will keep the forces balanced (Newton s First Law of Motion: Examples of the Effect of Force on Motion). However, if something comes in contact with the car, like a tree, it will unbalance the forces currently on the car and the car will stop moving. For the final example imagine you’re playing a game of bowling with a bunch of your friends. The bowling ball shows an example of Newton’s first law. By throwing the ball you are putting forces on it when it begins to roll. It is being pushed down the lane and pushing against the lane. A rolling ball will keep rolling until it hits something or until friction takes over. In this case at one point the ball will stop, either when colliding with the pins or when rolling down gutter to the stop wall. Newton’s second law states: Acceleration occurs when a force acts on an object. The higher the mass the more force needed (Newton s Laws). The first example for this law is a
