Final answer:

Newton's first law explains why food stays at rest or moves when we apply force to it. Newton's second law relates force and mass, explaining how we can break down the food when we eat. Newton's third law describes the equal and opposite forces exerted between our teeth and the food we eat.

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's first law, also known as the law of inertia, states that an object at rest will remain at rest, and an object in motion will continue moving at a constant velocity, unless acted upon by an external force. When you are eating your breakfast, this law applies to the food on your plate. If you push the food with your fork, it will move. However, if you don't apply any external force, the food will remain at rest. Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass.

When you bite or chew your breakfast, this law applies. The force you apply with your jaw muscles causes an acceleration of the food, leading to its breakdown. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. When you take a bite of your breakfast, your teeth exert a force on the food, and the food exerts an equal and opposite force on your teeth. This law also applies when you use utensils to cut or pick up your breakfast. The force you apply to the utensil is balanced by the reactionary force exerted by the food.

An example of Newton's First Law is chewing. You need to start chewing in order for the food to become smaller which involves motion from your teeth and the food which stays in motion until you swallow the food. When you chew, you move the food in a circular motion and when you are ready to swallow, that motion stops and goes into another motion.
