Newtons laws of motion
MODEL RELEASED. Newtons laws of motion. Man pushing a wheelbarrow to demonstrate Newtons three laws of motion. The first law states that an object will either remain at rest or move at a continous speed, unless acted upon by a force. The second law states that the force of an object is equal to its mass times its acceleration. The third law states that when one object places a force on a second object, the second object places a force of equal strength in the opposite direction on the first

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library beautifully captures the essence of Newton's laws of motion. In this image, we see an elderly Caucasian man, a seasoned gardener, pushing a wheelbarrow with utmost determination and purpose. Through this practical demonstration, he exemplifies Newton's three fundamental laws that govern motion. The first law depicted here illustrates the concept of inertia - an object at rest will remain stationary unless acted upon by an external force. The man's initial effort to set the wheelbarrow in motion perfectly embodies this principle. Moving on to the second law, we witness the correlation between force, mass, and acceleration. As our gardener exerts his strength to push forward, he showcases how the force applied is directly proportional to both the mass of the wheelbarrow and its resulting acceleration. Finally, Newton's third law comes into play as we observe equal but opposite forces at work. With each step taken by our protagonist while propelling the wheelbarrow forward, there is a reciprocal force exerted back onto him from behind. This remarkable photograph not only serves as a visual representation of these scientific principles but also highlights their practical application in everyday life. It reminds us that even seemingly mundane tasks like gardening can be governed by profound scientific concepts such as those formulated by Sir Isaac Newton centuries ago.
