Sprint canoeing is an Olympic sport. Athletes ride in long canoes or kayaks. One person(k1) two people (k2) three people (k3) four people (k4). To help the athletes steer their boats they either need a double sided blade or a one bladed paddle. The things you need in a canoe sprint are canoe gates, a life vest, a helmet, dry bags, and a first aid kit.
Newton's 1st law is an object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by an outside force. An object at rest will stay at rest until acted upon by an outside force. Newton’s 1st law can be in Olympic spots like canoe sprint. All the forces in canoe sprint are buoyant, applied, drag, and friction.
Newton's 2nd law is F=ma, force is equal to mass times acceleration. Acceleration is like a rocket's boosters pushing it. Mass is how heavy or light something is. Force can be all kinds of things like if you're floating in water the force is called buoyant force. Newton's 2nd law in canoe sprint is when you paddle you are adding force to the water you are accelerating the boat. Mass is the amount of force the boat has.
Newton's 3rd law states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Newton's 3rd law in canoe sprint is action and reaction. If you push the paddle one way the water goes in the opposite direction when you have two paddles on side when you paddle backwards you will go forward. When you paddle forward you will go backwards. And that is all of Newton's 3 laws of motion in canoe sprint.
