Paralympic Swimming
Every four years the athlete competes to be the best of paralympic swimming. Paralympic swimming started in 1860 in Stoke, Mandeville in England and it was added in 1960 to the paralympics. Equipment that athletes need to participate in this sport are a swimming suit, and goggles.
Do you want to know Newton 1st law and how it is shown in paralympic swimming? First, forces. Unbalance is like when a ball gets thrown and it moves and balance is when a ball is in a ball bin. Next, Newton’s first law is that an object in motion will stay in motion until a force comes on it and an object in rest will stay at rest until a force comes on it. Late motion in my sport are the swimmer, and the water. Clearly, Newton’s 1st law is seen in paralympic swimming.
To begin, Newton's 2nd law is that I push a shelf harder than I push a book because the shelf has more mass. I need more force to move the shelf than the book. Second, the definition of a force is like a push or a pull. Mass is how much it takes up. Last but not least how Newton law goes with paralympic swimming lets see if water tries to push a swimmer it will be harder then to push water. Overall Newton's second law can be seen throughout paralympic swimming.
Next, Newton’s 3rd law is an action that always has a reaction. Examples of law are, arms go forward and water go’s back or arms go back water go’s forward, water go’s down and you go up,you go down, water goes up. It also happens with swimmers' legs. Truly the sport of paralympic swimming is interesting and slippery. Newton Laws can be seen throughout every movement of this sport
