Where the three laws of motion are applicable in our daily life

Answers (1)

Yes, there are many applications of Newton's laws of motion in our daily life. A few of them are listed below.

Newton's first law of motion:

 Everybody continues its state of uniform motion along a straight line or state of rest unless acted by an external force.

Example:  if we hit a resting ball it will move and will not stop unless there is an external force. The external force acting here is friction which opposes the motion of the ball

 Newton's second law of motion: The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly proportional to the unbalanced force applied in the direction of the force. 

If a body of mass m is moving with initial velocity u along a straight line. It is uniformly accelerated to a velocity v by applying a force for time t then, the rate of change of momentum = force applied. That is force applied

F=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}

Example: Kicking a ball

Newton's third law of motion states that every force has equal and opposite reactions. For example, when a bullet is fired from a gun, the gun exerts a forward force on the bullet and the bullet exerts a backward force on the gun. That is why the gun moves back (recoil of the gun) when fired.
