The three laws of Newton related to dancing!

In our last physics class we did a very fun activity! We danced on a dance pad that a classmate took to the class! We had so much fun but when we were finished we were told we had to do a blog post relating our dance activity with Newtons three laws of motion! Here I go...

FIRST LAW
  If there is no force on an object, then its velocity is constant. The object is either at rest or it moves with a constant speed in a single direction.
I think we applied this law when we had to wait for a while when someone was selecting the song, so when it was time for me or any other classmate to dance we would get ready and when the computer told us to step on the right arrow we did so we could see that first the Dance pad was at rest then it canged when we started dancing!

SECOND LAW
This law describes the relashionship between sn object's mass and the amount of force needed to accelerate the object. 
I think we applied this law when we had to use our weight by stepping on the arrows on the pad. For some people it was easier because they had more mass then other do! The really skinny people had to put a greater amount of preasue but the ones that were a little bit chubbier did not have the same problem! 

THIRD LAW 
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. 
I think we applied this law when we were dancing because when we stepped on one of the arrows the computer transmitted what we did so we transmitted the action and the computer showed the reaction!
