1. Inertia
2. F=ma
3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
4. Outlines how force, mass and acceleration are related

Answer 2

B. An Air hockey table on which the puck floats on air.

Answer 3

1. Inertia - Newton's first law
2. F=ma - Newton's second law
3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction - Newton's third law
4. Outlines how force, mass and acceleration are related - Newton's second law
