*Application:* A cricket ball at rest on the pitch, a shot-putter maintaining balance before throw. - **2nd Law (Acceleration):** The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass ($F=ma$). - *Application:* Kicking a football (harder kick = more acceleration), throwing a lighter javelin farther. - **3rd Law (Action-Reaction):** For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. - *Application:* Pushing off the starting block in swimming, jumping (pushing ground down, ground pushes body up). - **Types of Levers:** - **First Class:** Fulcrum between effort and resistance (e.g., seesaw, nodding head - triceps extending elbow). - **Second Class:** Resistance between fulcrum and effort (e.g., wheelbarrow, standing on toes -
