If the terms were interchanged for the respective law (ex. law of inertia and the first law of human behavior), then the meaning for both laws would be similar to the original law.

1. Behavior tends to follow the status quo unless it is acted upon by a decrease in friction or increase in fuel.

2. Behavior (B) is a function of the person (P) and their environment (E), or B=f(P,E).

3. For every decision made, there are tradeoffs and the potential for unintended consequences.

Newton’s first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.

2. F = ma

Newton’s second law is a quantitative description of the changes that a force can produce on the motion of a body. It states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it.

3. LAW OF ACTION AND REACTION

Newton’s third law states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The third law is also known as the law of action and reaction.

1. LAW OF INERTIA - While riding a skateboard (or cart or bike), you fly forward away from the board when you hit a sidewalk, rock, or anything else that suddenly stops the skateboard.

2. F =ma - Of the two walking people, if one is heavier than the other, the one who weighs the heaviest walks slower because the acceleration of the one who weighs the lighter is more.

3. LAW OF ACTION & REACTION - When you jump, your feet apply force to the ground, and the earth applies an equal and opposite reaction force that pushes you into the air.

LAWS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR

1. First Law - Michael started wearing converse sneakers when he saw his friends start wearing them in college.

2. Second Law - Carla usually procrastinates when doing her work; but when she started to hang out with her coworkers more, she got influenced by their hardworking mindset and start taking her job seriously.

3. Third Law - After a program ends where Sean was paid to go to class, he decides that since he is no longer making money, he will stop going to school.
