Application of 3 Laws of Motion in the medical field?

How do you apply Newton's 3 Laws of Motion to the medical field?Application of 3 Laws of Motion in the medical field?First law - An object at rest will remain at rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object in motion continues in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

This law is often called "the law of inertia".



Blood flow around the body will continue until a force stops it (eg tourniquet)



Second law - Acceleration is produced when a force acts on a mass. The greater the mass (of the object being accelerated) the greater the amount of force needed (to accelerate the object).



Ask the trolley pushers - the heavier the patient, the more force needed to push them along on the trolley.



Third law - For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.



The higher the medical bill - the closer the patient's jaw is to the ground.



No - update - wouldn't blood pressure cuff show that when an object pushes it gets pushed back in the opposite direction with equal force ???



(yeah - i'm starting to struggle)
