Newton's First Law
Newton's Second Law
Newton's Third Law

Law of acceleration
In skiing, the performer would continue to glide at a constant velocity unless friction against the snow, air resistance or turning their feet caused them to decelerate
When a sprinter pushes against the starting blocks, the blocks exert an equal force on the sprinter
During a rugby conversion in windy conditions, the ball remains still on the kicking tee until it is blown off by a gust of wind
Law of reaction
An accurate pass in American football will reach its opponent more quickly if there is a greater force applied to the ball
The more power a tennis player puts into their shot, the greater the force will be on the ball, and thus the greater the acceleration
The more force a weightlifter puts into a lift, the faster the weight will accelerate
In football, the ball remains still on the penalty spot until kicked by the penalty taker
Law of inertia
A fielder overcomes the force of a ball by exerting an opposite force against it during the catch
During the take-off phase of a high jump, the force exerted on the ground in order to leap into the air would be met by an equal force acting on the foot
The harder a tackle in rugby, the greater the force applied to the opponent, causing them to decelerate at a greater rate
An ice hockey puck would continue to move across the ice unless friction caused it to slow down or an interception brought it to a halt
A golf ball will remain at a constant velocity in flight unless acted on by gravity and air resistance
