Newton’s first law of motion was a giant leap forward in scientific thought during Newton’s time. Even today, the idea is someti

mes difficult at first for people to understand.
Which statement is the best example of an object and motion that would make it hard for people to believe Newton’s first law?
a. A rolling ball eventually slows down and comes to a stop.
b. A wagon must be pushed before it begins to move.
c. The heavier the load in a cart, the harder the cart is to turn.
d. A box does not move when pushed equally from opposite sides.

Answer: B

Explanation:

Newton's first law it's law of inertia.

An object at rest will remain at rest (or an object in motion in a straight line at a constant velocity will remain that way) unless it is acted by an unbalanced force.

In A for the ball to slow down and stop, an external force (like friction with air or the floor) needs to be taken in consideration.

In B we can see how we need to make a force on the wagon to make it move.

In C we have an other Newton 's law, force equals mass times acceleration (2nd law)

In D we can see how it does not move because the forces on the box are balanced.

Answer:

Hey

I have no idea when YOUR assignment is due.

Newtons 1rst law:

An object that has constant motion will remain at that speed unless acted on by an external force.

Newtons 2nd law:

F=ma (force=mass*acceleration)

Newtons 3rd law:

when a force is applied to an object, there will be an opposite but equal reaction.

Acceleration:

How much your speed increases/decreases per unit of time.

I wrote all that^

How much work is done in accelerating a 2000 kg car from rest to a speed of 30 m/s?
