The law that would be modeled by the image on the left is Newton’s Second Law. This law describes the relationship between the forces acting on an object and its motion. In the provided scenarios, the first image shows balanced forces (the upward push of the chair equals the downward pull of gravity), resulting in the person being at rest. In the second image, the upward push of the chair is greater than the downward pull of gravity, leading to an upward acceleration of the person. This illustrates how an unbalanced force (the greater upward push) results in acceleration, which is directly related to Newton's Second Law (F = ma).
Which law would be modeled by the image on the left?
Illustration of a person sitting in an ejector seat. In the first image the upward push of the chair and downward pull of gravity are equal, and the person is at rest. In the second image the upward push of the chair is greater than the downward pull of gravity, and the person accelerates upward?
