The first one is actually Newton's First Law of Motion. 

Newton's First Law of Motion is commonly stated as "an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force." This sled is moving across the ice at the same constant speed and velocity meaning it will won't stop unless an outside force acts upon it. An example being someone coming and grabbing the sled or maybe the sled slips off of the ice and finds itself stuck in a pile of snow. Similarly, if the sled was not moving, it would not move unless acted upon again by an outside force. 

You believed it to be Newton's Third Law, but for future reference, his third law is more about every action having an equal opposite reaction. This wouldn't explain what is currently happening with the sled. A helpful tip into figuring out where to start in figuring out the answer I got is in the example you gave it literally states "with a constant velocity" which also ends up being in the description of Newton's First Law. Though, don't rely on that because the answer could have had a made up definition.

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your other question. I apologize. Hope this helped.

Marianna [84]

Answer:

The bubble gum experiment demonstrates the law of conservation of mass in that even though the bubble gum has lost mass, this loss in mass is not because some matter present in the gum has been destroyed, but it has changed  form and has been removed from the gum.

Explanation:

In this science experiment, students investigate whether or not chewing gum should be considered eating. During the process of chewing the gum, the gum loses mass. The experiment is used to demonstrate the law of conservation of mass which states that matter can neither be created nor destroyed but may change from one form to another.

The loss in mass of the gum is due to the fact that the sugar present in the gum has changed form and has been removed from the gum. During the process of chewing the gum, the sugar in solid form present in the gum is dissolved in the saliva found in the mouth. The dissolved sugar is then swallowed and passes into the digestive tract for digestion. This shows that even though the bubble gum has lost mass, this loss in mass is not because some matter present in the gum has been destroyed, but it has changed  form and has been removed from the gum, This demonstrates the law of conservation of mass.
