Question

a solar sail moves through space using reflected photons to propel itself forward. 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

Explanation:

Newton's first law 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 second law is about the relationship between force, mass and acceleration ($F = ma$). The third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. A solar - sail moves forward because photons hitting and reflecting off the sail create an action - reaction pair. This is an example of Newton's third law.

Answer:

Newton's third law of motion
