Q

What is Newton’s second law of motion?

A

Q

What are the first two types of levers?

A

Located outside of the body, wheelbarrow and crow bar. the motive force is farther away from axis making the force less to move it.

Q

what is the third type of lever?

A

What happens internally of the body, the force acts between the axis and resistance force, Farther away you are moving something with your body the harder. Ex. why weightlifters have shorter arms and legs.
