How are Newton's second and third laws of motion important to your everyday life.
A baseball player utilizes Newton's 2nd law to catch the ball with lesser impact. For this he catches the ball from maximum distance means time increases so rate of change of momentum decreases. Thus impact force is reduced. When you walk your foot pushes on the floor and the floor pushes back on you - in the opposite direction. This is an example of Third law in action.
Newtons second and third law is very important in mechanics to calculate acceleration , force and also or calculating reaction force using third law for solving many problems in physics . Newton published these laws in his famous book probably written in sixteen century and that was only book for more then century where his formulation always used for many deduction in properties of matter in many deduction for formulation in fluid dynamics . Still newtons law is working in the classical domain when the particles is in motion and probably most powerful law in physics.
