i have to do this project where i have to compare and contrast a Baseball helmet and a Rock climbing helmet and describe how each is appropriately designed to its use.
- have to make reference to each of Sir Isaac Newtons 3 laws
- describe how force is minimized
- describe several features of the helmet's design specific to its purpose

im having a tough time finding information and just basically understanding physics so far so i would appreciate it greatly for any input to the above project.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
?

i kinda know how to connect it to Newtons 3 laws but i am supposed to come up with 2 pages of info, how much is there to say?
 
Try giving quantative answers. Such as comparing the forces of sum one falling on their head and a baseball hitting sumones head. It may also be appropriate to talk about impulses.
