For this assessment, you will be taking Newton’s laws and describing how they are illustrated in a specific event. You only need to choose one of the options provided. Once you select the option, you will describe in detail how this option illustrates each of Newton’s three laws of motion.

option one:
Amusement parks are a great place to see Newton's laws of motion in action. Choose your favorite ride and describe the parts of the ride that illustrate each of Newton's laws of motion. You are only required to give a written description; however, if you would like, you may draw and label a picture in addition to the paragraph explanation. Please be sure to look at the rubric to see exactly what you are expected to include! 
option two:Understanding the laws of motion can enhance performance in sport activities. Choose your favorite sport and describe where players use Newton’s three laws of motion to be successful. You are only required to give a written description; however, if you would like, you may draw and label a picture in addition to the paragraph explanation. Please be sure to look at the rubric to see exactly what you are expected to include!
option three:
In the United States, car accidents are the leading cause of death for teenagers. Wearing seat belts helps save lives. Describe how Newton’s three laws of motion are used in testing the safety of our automobiles. You are only required to give a written description; however, if you would like, you may draw and label a picture in addition to the paragraph explanation. Please be sure to look at the rubric to see exactly what you are expected to include! 



Answer :

3. Football: The first law takes place before the snap.  When the quarterback is still calling out his play, everyone including the ball, are still.  The ball remains motionless until it is acted upon by the center.  The center flings the ball back to the quarterback causing it to go into motion, then remains motionless until the quarterback throws the ball to a wide receiver for a touchdown.  When the defensive lines meet, the heavier players such as New England's Vince Wilfork, require much more force applied to them to move them out of the way than it would to hit Julian Edelman which explains the second law. This can also explain the third law as well. When one defensive line pushes against another, they both apply force to each other and if they are the same strength, the reaction for one lineman is the others opposite re-action
