Question

read the following questions and circle the correct answer choice. 24. which of the following best represents inertia? a. an object at rest remains at rest. b. an object in motion remains in motion. c. flying forward when a car suddenly stops. d. all of the above 25. which of the following is an example of newtons 1st law? a. using a force to push a box. b. pulling back an arrow to shoot it forward. c. a table remains motionless in a classroom. d. none of the above 26. which of the following is an example of newtons 2nd law? a. a bowling ball requires more force to roll than a tennis ball. b. sitting in a chair. c. a rocket blasting off. d. all of the above 27. which of the following is an example of newtons 3rd law? a. a full grocery cart requires more force to move forward than an empty cart. b. pushing backward in order to move forward while ice skating. c. a cookie sitting on a plate. d. none of the above

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's 1st Law

Newton's 1st law (law of inertia) states that 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. Options a, b and c all describe situations related to inertia. An object at rest remains at rest (a), an object in motion remains in motion (b) and a flying - forward object stops when a car suddenly stops (c) all show inertia.

Step2: Recall Newton's 2nd Law

Newton's 2nd law is \(F = ma\) (force equals mass times acceleration). A bowling ball requires more force to roll than a tennis ball because the bowling ball has more mass, which is an example of Newton's 2nd law.

Step3: Recall Newton's 3rd Law

Newton's 3rd law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Pushing backward on an empty cart to move forward while ice - skating is an example of Newton's 3rd law.

Answer:

1. d. All of the above
2. a. Using a force to push a box
3. a. A bowling ball requires more force to roll than a tennis ball
4. b. Pushing backward in order to move forward while ice skating
