We simply asked to name three uses for mercury.
The most common and well-known use of mercury is the production of thermometers. It's property to stay liquid at room temperature makes it ideal for a temperature indicator. However, the use of mercury is thermometers has been phased out due to health hazards.
It is also used to form an amalgam which is the result of its combination with silver or gold. Mercury has been used to mine gold and silver. This application has also been phased out.
Today's use of mercury includes mercury-vapor lamps which are the bright lamps used in high-ways.
An airplane is flying at a constant speed in a positive direction. It slows down when it approaches the airport where it's going to land. this is an example of negative acceleration (D).
Newton's three forces, normal, tension and friction, are present in a surprising number of physical situations
Newton's Laws, that describe the relationship between an obejct and the forces acting upon it, apply in almost every physical situation, from quantum mechanics to electricity.
The correct answer is:
Newton’s laws can explain the forces that occur between objects every day
