Question

elise is scuba diving for treasure and brings what she finds back up onto her boat. 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 elise exerts more force to lift a 5 - kilogram treasure than a 2 - kilogram treasure. elises hands exert an upward force on the treasure that is the same magnitude as the downward force the treasure exerts on her hands. the treasure will remain at rest until elise lifts it off of the ocean floor.

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. The treasure remaining at rest until lifted is an example of this. Newton's second law is \(F = ma\) (force equals mass times acceleration), so more mass requires more force to accelerate, which applies to Elise exerting more force to lift a 5 - kilogram treasure than a 2 - kilogram one. Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Elise's hands and the treasure exerting equal - magnitude forces on each other is an example of this.

Answer:

• "Elise exerts more force to lift a 5 - kilogram treasure than a 2 - kilogram treasure.": Newton's second law of motion
• "Elise’s hands exert an upward force on the treasure that is the same magnitude as the downward force the treasure exerts on her hands.": Newton's third law of motion
• "The treasure will remain at rest until Elise lifts it off of the ocean floor.": Newton's first law of motion
