newton described three laws of motion. on the table below check the box to indicate which of newtons laws the each is an example of.
the harder you swing a bat, the farther the ball will travel
a ball sits on a tee until you hit it with a bat
when a bat hits a ball off of a tee, the bat slows down
when whirling a ball on a string in a circular path, if the string were to break the ball would fly off. which of newtons 3 laws of motion applies to the direction the ball will fly?
a swimmer pushes water back with her arms but her body moves forward.
when the force on a car is doubled, the acceleration is doubled.
an automobile you are riding in suddenly stops, but you continue to go forward.
you push against the floor when you walk and the floor pushes back on you.

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
1. "The harder you swing a bat, the farther the ball will travel" - Newton's 2nd Law as force (swing force) is related to acceleration and motion of the ball.
2. "A ball sits on a tee until you hit it with a bat" - Newton's 1st Law as the ball remains at rest until an external force (bat - hit) acts on it.
3. "When a bat hits a ball off of a tee, the bat slows down" - Newton's 3rd Law as there is an equal - and - opposite reaction when the bat exerts force on the ball and the ball exerts force back on the bat.
4. "When whirling a ball on a string in a circular path, if the string were to break the ball would fly off" - Newton's 1st Law as the ball wants to move in a straight - line path (inertia) when the centripetal force (string tension) is removed.
5. "A swimmer pushes water back with her arms but her body moves forward" - Newton's 3rd Law as the action of pushing water back has a reaction of the swimmer moving forward.
6. "When the force on a car is doubled, the acceleration is doubled" - Newton's 2nd Law as per the formula $F = ma$ (force is proportional to acceleration).
7. "An automobile you are riding in suddenly stops, but you continue to go forward" - Newton's 1st Law as your body has inertia and wants to keep moving forward.
8. "You push against the floor when you walk and the floor pushes back on you" - Newton's 3rd Law as there is an action - reaction pair of forces.
