hello can some one help me, post a simplified version of Newton's 3 laws of motion and some examples thank you very much :)
How Do Newton's Laws of Motion Apply to Everyday Life?

SUMMARY
Newton's three laws of motion are fundamental principles that describe the relationship between a body and the forces acting upon it. The first law states that a body remains at rest or in uniform motion unless acted upon by a net external force. The second law, expressed as F = ma, illustrates the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force, exemplified by a 2 Kg ball accelerating at 5 m/s², resulting in a force of 10 N. The third law asserts that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction, demonstrated by a 10 N force exerted on a stationary wall.

Hey Doc.Madani 
1. A physical body will remain at rest, or continue to move at a constant velocity, unless an outside net force acts upon it.
Imagine a ball moving through space at a constant velocity, until a force act on that ball it will continue to move with that constant velocity.
2. The relationship between an object's mass m, its acceleration a, and the applied force F is F = ma.
I am sure you have used examples using F = ma. Say a ball of mass 2 Kg is moving with an acceleration of 5 ms. The force exerted on the ball is 10 N.
3. To every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
If you exert a force on a wall of 10 N and the wall doesn't move, it is exerting a force of 10 N back.
Somebody might want to touch up on these, if there are any small problems. Those are not the actual laws, but watered down versions.
