Answer to Question #264276 in Physics for grey tyrant

Question

think/observe 3 applications of the laws of motion that you experience in everyday life. Take a pictures of this application and explain which laws are being applied and their importance

Answer 1

a) Newton’s First Law of Motion

The function of the air bag is to inflate in an accident and prevent the driver’s head from hitting the windshield. When a car with an airbag is exposed to an accident, the sudden slowdown in its speed leads to the operation of an electrical switch, and this starts a chemical reaction that produces a gaseous substance that works to fill the air bag and protect the driver’s head.

b) Second Law of Motion

For example, in cars racing, engineers try to keep vehicle mass as low as possible, as lower mass means more acceleration, and the higher the acceleration the greater the chances of winning the race.

c) Newton’s Third Law of Motion

When you jump, your feet apply force to the ground, and the earth applies an equal and opposite reaction force that pushes you into the air.
