Question
- a ball is kicked forward. describe how newtons first and third laws both apply in this situation.
Newton's First Law (Law of Inertia) applies as the ball was initially at rest and its state of motion changed due to the external force of the kick. Newton's Third Law applies as the foot exerts a force on the ball, and the ball exerts an equal - and - opposite force back on the foot.
