Question

A cat is sleeping on the dashboard of a moving car. Imagine that the cat does not wake up and is not touched by anything. Use Newton’s first law to explain an unbalanced (outside) force that could cause the cat to move?

Answer 1

What do we call an object displaced by an unbalanced Force,
Accelerated object,


And we also know that,
Due to acceleration, An object displaces.

But I'll use Newton's 1st law to prove it,
Which is, An object will remain in rest or in uniform motion until it is compelled by an external Force.

As per the his law,
The cat will remain on the dashboard of that moving car until it is compelled by Air Force (external Force).
