Question

match each of newtons laws of motion to the statement it best describes. newtons first law of motion newtons second law of motion newtons third law of motion the downward force that the hawks wings exert on the air is the same as the upward force the air exerts on the hawks wings. the hawk will glide at a constant velocity until it flaps its wings. the hawk must flap its wings harder to accelerate when carrying prey than when not carrying prey.

Explanation:

Newton's first law (law of inertia) states an object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. So "The hawk will glide at a constant velocity until it flaps its wings" follows the first - law. Newton's second law is $F = ma$ (force equals mass times acceleration). "The hawk must flap its wings harder to accelerate when carrying prey than when not carrying prey" relates to mass and acceleration, following the second - law. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. "The downward force that the hawk's wings exert on the air is the same as the upward force the air exerts on the hawk's wings" is an example of the third - law.

Answer:

The downward force that the hawk's wings exert on the air is the same as the upward force the air exerts on the hawk's wings: Newton's third law of motion
The hawk will glide at a constant velocity until it flaps its wings: Newton's first law of motion
The hawk must flap its wings harder to accelerate when carrying prey than when not carrying prey: Newton's second law of motion
