Question

katy uses a blender to make her favorite after - school snack - a tropical fruit smoothie. which statement describes how newtons second law of motion is involved in this interaction? the ingredients of the smoothie remain at rest until the blender is turned on. the counter top exerts an upward force on the blender that is equal to the blenders weight. the denser the smoothie is, the more force is required to blend it.

Explanation:

Newton's second law is $F = ma$ (force equals mass times acceleration). A denser smoothie has more mass. According to the law, more mass requires more force to achieve the same acceleration (blending). The first option is Newton's first - law (inertia), and the second option is Newton's third - law (action - reaction).

Answer:

The denser the smoothie is, the more force is required to blend it.
