Explain how each of Newton’s laws affects a game of Tug of War.

Answer:

First Law: The rope will stay in the same place until the tugging starts (a new force is introduced).

Second Law: We could measure a team’s force that they can pull the rope with based on their body masses and the acceleration that they are causing the rope to move at.

Third: 1 team pulls the rope towards themselves with a certain amount of force and the opposing team is also putting force on the rope. The same amount of force is applied from the ground to the people as they are putting on the ground.
