Describe how Newton's laws of motion apply to you eating your breakfast.

Very interesting question.

Newton's 3 laws of motion consisted of:

1. Every object will remain in rest until an external force is applied to it

2. Second law states that the force acting on a body is equal to the acceleration of the body x mass

3. For every action there is an opposite and equal reaction.

We can apply all these 3 laws when e.g. eating cereals in breakfast.

The cereals are at rest, and once I apply force on them with a spoon, they accelerate but once they reach my mouth, they press against my tongue which exerts an opposite but equal reaction on them.
