newtons laws quiz
read the scenario and decide which of newtons law it represents.
you are riding a roller coaster and your head presses back against the headrest as the coaster accelerates.
1st - law of inertia
2nd - law of acceleration
3rd - law of action reaction
Newton's first law is the law of inertia which states that 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. When the roller - coaster accelerates, your body (including your head) has inertia and resists the change in motion, pressing back against the headrest.
