Question

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 the ground pushes back on camillas feet with the same force that camilla pushes on the ground. if the net force on clayton is twice as large, he will accelerate twice as fast. before they begin tugging, clayton and camilla are both at rest.

Explanation:

Newton's third law states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. So, "The ground pushes back on Camilla's feet with the same force that Camilla pushes on the ground" is an example of Newton's third - law. Newton's second law is $F = ma$, meaning acceleration is directly proportional to the net force. So, "If the net force on Clayton is twice as large, he will accelerate twice as fast" is an example of Newton's second law. Newton's first law 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. So, "Before they begin tugging, Clayton and Camilla are both at rest" is an example of Newton's first law.

Answer:

1. Newton's third law of motion: The ground pushes back on Camilla's feet with the same force that Camilla pushes on the ground.
2. Newton's second law of motion: If the net force on Clayton is twice as large, he will accelerate twice as fast.
3. Newton's first law of motion: Before they begin tugging, Clayton and Camilla are both at rest.
