Newton’s Laws of Motion in Sports

How can you use the knowledge of Newton’s Laws of Motion to improve your exercise/sport knowledge?

• By applying the principles of force, acceleration, and action-reaction to optimize movements and analyze forces acting on the body.
• By ignoring Newton's Laws of Motion and relying solely on intuition.
• By disregarding the principles of force, acceleration, and action-reaction.
• By focusing on unrelated concepts and theories instead of Newton's Laws of Motion.

The acceleration of an object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force applied.

• 1st law

• 2nd law

• 3rd law

How is Newton’s 2nd Law of Motion applied in sports?

• It only applies to objects in motion but not in sports.
• It explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration in sports.
• It only applies to objects at rest.
• It is not applicable in sports.

In tennis, the acceleration of the player’s racket will allow a maximum amount of force to be applied to the ball (the harder you swing, the ball will travel faster/farther)

• 1st law

• 2nd law

• 3rd law

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction

• 1st law

• 2nd law

• 3rd law

How is Newton’s 3rd Law of Motion applied in sports?

• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion does not apply in sports.
• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion is only applicable in physics, not in sports.
• Newton's 3rd Law of Motion is only applicable to objects at rest, not in motion in sports.
• The 3rd Law of Motion is applied in sports when a force is exerted on an object, causing an equal and opposite force to be exerted back.
