Newton’s Three Laws of Motion

Newton's Three Laws of Motion are demonstrated using a rocket-powered sledge on an ice rink. In the first example objects remain stationary or continue moving unless a force acts upon them. In the second example acceleration is proportional to force. The third example, using a tennis ball launcher on top of the rocket, shows forces are produced in equal and opposite pairs.
