Laws of Life

Science is everywhere. It explains where things come from, why things happen, and may other aspects of life. Sir Isaac Newton came up with three laws to explain why things happen: to explain motion. These three laws were developed in the late 1680's and still hold true today.

The first law states: An object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will remain in motion at a contant velocity unless acted upon by an unbalenced force.

The second law states: The acceleration produced by a net force on an object is directly proportional to the net force, is in the same dircetion as the net force, and is inversely proportional to the mass of an object.

The third law states: To every action there is always an equal and opposite reaction.

Science and Sports

Have you ever heard someone say that playing a sport takes skill? Well, it does, it also takes physics. How do you think any snowboarder could successfully do a trick in the air by just practicing it over and over and over? Practice is key to making the tricks, but if you ever want to be as good as an Olympic Snowboarder, you need to know a thing or two about physics.
