Question

during the winter, jacob loves to go ice fishing. which statement describes how newton’s second law of motion is involved in this interaction? jacob pulls the fish up, and the fish pulls him down. the fishing line remains still until a fish pulls on it. a 15 - kilogram fish requires more force to pull up out of the water than a 5 - kilogram fish.

Explanation:

Newton's second law is $F = ma$ (force equals mass times acceleration). A 15 - kilogram fish has more mass than a 5 - kilogram fish. According to the law, more force is needed to accelerate the heavier fish (pull it up), showing the relationship between force, mass and acceleration. The first option is Newton's third - law (action - reaction), and the second option is Newton's first law (inertia).

Answer:

A 15 - kilogram fish requires more force to pull up out of the water than a 5 - kilogram fish.
