Newtons 1st and 2nd Law

  • Newtons first law states an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
  • In wrestling this is very accurate. At the start of the math both wrestlers are in a stationary position. This is comparable to an object being at rest. After the whistle blows, each wrestler will try to move the other by force to create an advantage to score.                                                                   http://jichsathletics.com/2016/01/13/home-wrestling-match-today/
  • Newton's Second law and (Newman's Favorite law) F=MA
  • In wrestling, strength doesn't determine everything. It takes a lot of strength and skill, but it also takes speed. If your a bigger wrestler its going to take a greater force to accelerate faster then if your a smaller wrestler. Acceleration in a match and the ability to jump move to move can determine a match.
