Newton's First Law of Motion: Every body will be in state of being at rest unless acted upon.
Newton's Second Law of Motion: Applying force to the mass going the same direction causes the acceleration.
If we throw a ball against the wall the force of the wall causes the mass, which is the ball, to accelerate. If we apply force it changes the constant velocity by changing its direction since velocity is a vector.
Newton's Third law of Motion: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction.
Stepping on the rocks causes force from body weight to leave a foot print. The weight will cause the rocks to move out of the way. The sand creates an equal and opposite force upon the foot which causes you not to sink. This is shown by how it displaces the sand around the foot, leaving a foot print.
Newton's laws can be related to our everyday life. The first law is being used by force upon different objects throughout the day, such as opening doors. The second law is used when putting force to the pedal to cause the acceleration of the mass of the car to move. The third law is used when we walk on anything other than hard surfaces.
