Question

liz is on her skateboard at a skate park. she is riding along flat ground and is approaching a ramp. 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 steeper the ramp is, the faster liz will decelerate. liz and the earth are attracted to each other with forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction. liz will move at a constant velocity until she begins moving up the ramp.

Explanation:

1. For "The steeper the ramp is, the faster Liz will decelerate": Newton's second law ($F = ma$) relates force, mass, and acceleration. A steeper ramp changes the net force, affecting acceleration (deceleration here), so this matches Newton's second law.
2. For "Liz and the Earth are attracted to each other with forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction": Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The mutual attraction is an action - reaction pair, so this matches Newton's third law.
3. For "Liz will move at a constant velocity until she begins moving up the ramp": Newton's first law (law of inertia) states that an object in motion will stay in motion with constant velocity unless a net force acts on it. The ramp will exert a net force, so before that, she moves at constant velocity, matching Newton's first law.

Answer:

• "The steeper the ramp is, the faster Liz will decelerate." : Newton's second law of motion
• "Liz and the Earth are attracted to each other with forces of equal magnitude and opposite direction." : Newton's third law of motion
• "Liz will move at a constant velocity until she begins moving up the ramp." : Newton's first law of motion
