Question

tanvi is driving her car at a constant velocity when she begins to brake. 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 tanvis inertia causes her to lean forward as she brakes. the tires of the car exert a downward force on the ground and the ground exerts an equal and upward force on the tires. the more friends in tanvis car, the greater the force required to decelerate it at a given rate.

Explanation:

• Newton's first law (law of inertia) states that an object in motion will stay in motion and an object at rest will stay at rest unless acted upon by an external force. Tanvi leaning forward due to inertia when braking is an example of this law.
• Newton's second law is \(F = ma\) (force equals mass times acceleration). The more mass (more friends in the car), the more force required to achieve a given acceleration (or deceleration in this case).
• Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The car - tires exerting a downward force on the ground and the ground exerting an equal upward force on the tires is an example of this law.

Answer:

• Tanvi's inertia causes her to lean forward as she brakes: Newton's first law of motion
• The tires of the car exert a downward force on the ground and the ground exerts an equal and upward force on the tires: Newton's third law of motion
• The more friends in Tanvi's car, the greater the force required to decelerate it at a given rate: Newton's second law of motion
