Question

now that you know newtons laws of motion, study the diagram below, and answer the questions that follow. 1. pool balls of equal mass and acceleration moving towards each other 2. pool balls colliding 3. collision causes pool balls to stand still describe how this image demonstrates two of newtons laws.

Explanation:

1. Newton's third - law: When the pool balls collide, ball 1 exerts a force on ball 2, and ball 2 exerts an equal and opposite force on ball 1 (action - reaction pair).
2. Newton's first law: Initially, the balls are in motion. After the collision, due to the equal and opposite forces and equal masses/accelerations, their net force becomes zero and they come to a stop (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).

Answer:

The image demonstrates Newton's first law as the balls stop moving after the collision when the net force on them becomes zero, and Newton's third law as there is an action - reaction force pair when the balls collide.
