How do you draw pictures for Newton's Three Law's of Motion?

I need to draw pictures of each of Newton's Three Laws of Motion for a school project but I don't know how to.How do you draw pictures for Newton's Three Law's of Motion?Find a good example for each one.



1. Use of a seat belt in a car is a good example of the first. Objects in motion tend to stay in motion until acted upon by a force. Inertia.



2. Force= mass X acceleration, show a large person and a smaller person trying to run. A good example is that they use a smaller person for a running back than the size they use for a blocker. It takes more force to start a large truck moving than a smaller car.



3. every force has an equal and opposite force. Movement of a rocket is a good example. Hot gases go out the back and the rocket goes forward.

The kick back of a cannon is a good example. the cannon ball goes forward and the cannon moves back. Also trying to step out of a boat onto a dock. If the boat is not tied, the person lands in the water between the dock and boat.How do you draw pictures for Newton's Three Law's of Motion?Newton's First law is - a body either at rest or in motion with constant velocity will remain that way unless a net force acts upon it.



So just draw something at rest like a car parked or a box on the ground that isn't moving. Since no force is acting it will remain at rest.



(Maybe denote v=0 m/s to indicate an object at rest)



Newton's Second Law. A net force applied to a body of mass m will result in that body undergoing an acceleration in the same direction as net force



Magnitude of body's acceleration directly proportional to the force.



F = ma



Draw a object in free fall. (Neglibile air resistance). The net force on an object in free fall is object = mass object * gravity.



Newton's Third Law



If body A exerts Force F on body B than Body B exerts a force -F back on A. (equal in magnitude and opposite direction.



Draw two planets each exerting a gravitational force on each other.



Remember the forces aren't by the same object. Both planets are pulling on each other with equal and opposite forces



F = G m1*m2/r^2.



F (a on b) = -F(b on a)



Hope that helps next time ask in a physics section.
