Rowing
Rowing is the greatest working sport in the summer Olympics. It started in the 18th century and joined the Olympics 1976 and 1896. The athletes use a boat, oars, and people. Last, there is a team and they are in a boat. They have to cross the finish line backwards to be able to win. Olympic Rowing is shown in all of Newton’s 3 Laws.
Rowing has multiple forces. Newton’s first law is about how objects at rest stay at rest and objects in motion stay in motion until there is a force applied. When the athletes are still, before the race they are at rest. The boat is also at rest before the race. The athletes are in motion when the race starts and they are moving their arms to paddle the boat as fast as they can. Also, The water is in motion when the boat is pushing through the water. These are several ways that Newton’s first law of motion is seen in rowing.
Newton's 2nd law applies to rowing because of force, mass, and acceleration. Newton’s 2nd law says that the greater the mass of an object, the more force is needed to accelerate the object. Force is applied when the athletes use their muscle force to push the oars or boat. The mass is the people, the boat, and the oars. Acceleration happens when the rowers push the oars against the water. The force of the rowers and the mass of the boat to help the boat glide along the water and compete against other rowers.
There are lots of details about how Newton’s 3rd Law is seen in rowing. Newton’s 3rd Law says that every action has an equal and opposite reaction. When the athletes pull on the oars, the oars push through the water. Actions in rowing are when the athletes are moving the oars through the water by pushing the water again and again. The reaction is the boat is pulled forward. These are all the ways Newtons’ three laws are seen in rowing.
