1. Newton’s First Law of Motion Law of inertia – 

This law states that a body at rest will remain at rest and a body in motion will remain in motion at the same speed and in the same direction till any external force is . applied on it to change that state. Application in sports 

Example: In basketball, players on the court must keep in mind about dribbling because the ball will continue to bounce for some time if they lose control. If the ball bounces too far away from the player, his or her team can lose possession. 

2. Newton’s Second Law of Motion 

This law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the force producing it and inversely proportional to its mass. 

Application in sports 

• Runners struggle while stopping at the finish line because it requires a very sudden change in motion. 
• Shot-put throw. 

3. Newton’s Third Law of Motion 

This law states that to every action, there is always an equal and opposite reaction. 

Application in sports 

While swimming, the swimmer pushes the water backwards using his hands and thus attains a forward push due to an equal and opposite reaction from the water.
